As a recovering Catholic I often joke and say, "I'm between religions right now."
But I also identify as a Recovering Democrat but have not found the need for Faith to support my shift away from what was once a pretty darned liberal worldview. Something something "mugged by reality."
I am almost certain that Climate Crisis Belief and Woke correllate with Atheism but many in that camp are faithless for the same reason that they're afraid the world is boiling away: Because someone told them so. If you don't come to your conclusions by means of logic then it's unlikely that logic will convince otherwise.
I'm kind of A Pox on Both Your Houses guy all around, more a Please Just Leave Me Alone guy, and have a tough time finding a social-idealogical comfort zone. This here forum, as you've suggested, fills that space. Finding this community has gone a long way toward filling that Bigger Than Me Slot.
Religiously and Politically, I find myself pretty happily agnostic.
