I think this particular person likes to flaunt religious status. Doesn’t seem like being a sovereign citizen is a religious thing
It has as much basis in fact as most religions do. It offers a faith-based legal defense to all those who try it, and I imagine it attracts the same sort of people who are attracted to that sort of irrational reasoning.
