There people obviously came of age and developed their ideologies during the new atheist movement, where you had to extol the primary virtues of logic and rationality and they were seen as the primary good.

They have grown up and realized that was a negative project (not a constructive one they could participate in and find meaning in, form solidarity or advance their interests) so they have swapped to whatever woo religion appeals to their reactionary impulses, but they haven’t fully purged themselves of their new atheist value system.

Kind of funny, since the new atheists were puritan evangelists for atheists - a value system they couldn’t purge from their Christianity
