I imagine also "Strong Atheists" would also be people who either really got screwed over by their particular church, or got screwed over while their church looked the other way while it was happening. I've seen plenty of that. It's pretty damaging when the thing that was supposed to protect you ends up messing you up. One of my goals when I left my religion was to not fixate too much on it, which was by far the healthiest move. People who jump from Christianity to reactive Satanism or militant-Atheism are still on the same shitty trip. Of course, zealots of any stripe are the worst, especially new converts to whatever belief they think will save them/make them special.
Yeah, these are good points.
Anecdotally, there's a dude at my work who left the Church because of their LGBT stuff, but he swerved hard into "The Satanic Bible", Wicca, etc. Which would be fine, but he's a Wiccan the same way your ex is totally into Chad, and is in no way dating him just to make you jealous.
He acts like he's more enlightened than Christians, but he just comes off as extremely bitter and miserable.
