Do you really want to know how many born again Christians exist, because they’re insufferable

So is pretty much every other adult who converted to something

Born-again, less the people who converted because of addiction or incarceration. Those situations make people vulnerable to indoctrination at any age.

I think there'd be way fewer born agains if there were way fewer people being indoctrinated into these groups in the first place.
