Right, but that predicate wasn’t the only one that applied here. This religionist:
-is adamant about spreader her views to the point she wishes to know what stops people from joining -is aware of the different arguments against and classifies them -most importantly, is in a theocracy of like-believers that gets government enforcement of its tenets
