I have seen these seemingly contradictory views particularly from Muslim comrades. However, this is not limited to them.

This post is a genuine question not a rant, so please treat it as such.

For many people, religious/spiritual community is the only intact community in their lives outside of work and the only place remotely removed from the general toil. Being able to access that space and the power of collective prayer & belonging is far more important for many than any particular theological statement.

Most religious people (in the West) are more like naive anarchists than trots; it's about the immanent act of worship and communion and not some mental masturbation about the texts.
