I would describe many people as "wannabe Christians". They don't attend mass, they don't read the Bible except to quote overused passages, and they watch pseudo-historical and religious films and art to strengthen their alleged Christian identity. They don't really believe in God or practise religion for the sake of it, but to distinguish themselves from others; it's about feeling unique, superior and better. Most modern young Christians are teenagers who view religion and belief as a trend or fashion, with an added sense of elitism and classicism. I'm an ex-Catholic and a descendant of Bavarian settlers who were Catholic and assimilated only because of their faith. Faith and religion used to bind people of different ethnicities, nationalities and ancestries together because they had one crucial thing in common. I was the second generation to quit because I was tired of the "holier-than-thou" attitude, of people being berated for believing "in a different way", and of being scolded for trying to find my place in life and forge my own path. I have probably become what Luther wanted to achieve — a reformed Catholic — but not for very long. Nowadays, I am mostly interested in theology and philosophy rather than religion and faith. However, I have noticed that the more you know, the more you are despised. I don't have time for pointless arguments with people who have never read the Bible.

I don't have Google services, nor do I ever plan to install them. I'm perfectly happy with F-Droid, Aurora Store and NeoStore.

I have LineageOS on my second phone, so the issue doesn't apply to custom ROMs, as the developers assured me. On my main phone, however, I still have the stock ROM because it's a new and expensive phone, and there are no custom ROMs for it yet, especially as it's a MediaTek. If they try to block sideloading, it would be a good time to report it to the European Union.
