Religion is not a choice in most instances where religious persecution actually becomes relevant.
In countries where Jews, or Christians, or Muslims, or Buddhists, or members of any other religion are killed, displaced and oppressed, none of the oppressors ask how strong your faith actually is. You could actually have turned your back on your family’s religion, you’d still be lumped in with them.

That’s not a realistic issue in England though; honor killings, etc. aren’t really a practical fear there, any more than getting murdered by Mormon Danites was for me when I left the Mormons. Yeah, you def. lose your family and friends, but that would also be the results I would have if I defected from rational thought to MAGA.
