Not really, that's not how worldviews work. On top of that, religions and cults are very good at embedding themselves into your social/family life marrying leaving the religion with leaving or estranging a large part of social life.

At this point, it is indeed still a choice, but hardly a daily or conscious choice.

Renouncing/converting exists but is rare, life changing, and sometimes dangerous.



I’ve changed my worldview massively over the years. I don’t think it’s impossible for others to do so and I wouldn’t say they have no agency in keeping with their status quo.


That's nice but none of that is what I said.

Do you change your worldview daily, on the level of opting in or out of religions? Do you think most people do? Do you think we can expect them to?
