Question mainly for Red Pill men who aren’t religious: A lot of Red Pill guys say they want marriage, families, stable long-term relationships, less promiscuity, and stronger communities with shared values.

Religious communities seem to do a pretty good job of producing those outcomes. They tend to have more people looking for marriage and family, clearer expectations around relationships, stronger social pressure against infidelity, and communities that support couples and parents. So why aren’t you religious? And before anyone says “because I don’t believe in God,” I get that. You can’t just force yourself to believe something.

But then here’s the follow-up: if you see religion tends to produce outcomes that align with your goals, why not at least support or promote it? There have been plenty of people throughout history who were personally irreligious or skeptical but still saw religion as a net positive for society. If religion helps create the kinds of families, communities, and relationship norms that many Red Pill men say they want, why not encourage it on those grounds alone?

And to be clear, I’m talking about people who actually practice their religion, not people who are religious in name only. Do you think the benefits are overstated, or do you think promoting something you don’t personally believe in is wrong?
