Initially I liked her for that. Leaving Christianity completely means (to me anyway) breaking through one’s automatic default of cognitive dissonance and actually accepting that you’ve believed lies for years. However it seems like so many people don’t fully break that grip and go back to Christianity once they get older. It’s like they live that Boomer phrase “you’ll grow out of it”/“it’s just a phase”. I guess her leaving Christianity was performative or just some youth rebel phase that getting money eventually reversed.

Anyway it sucks to see. Katy Perry was at best a super Lib, but I prefer super Lib Katy to fascist adjacent Katy.

She really left the church hard:
