“Conservative evangelical Christians spend an unbelievable amount of time focused on God: Church services and small groups, teaching their kids, praying alone and with friends. When I was a Christian I prayed 10s of times a day, asking God for wisdom or to help the person I was talking to. If a zealous Christian of any stripe is comfortable around me they talk about God all the time.”
Isn’t this true for ALL true believers regardless of conviction? I could easily replace ‘Conservative evangelical Christians and God’ with ‘Foodies and food’, ‘Teenage girls and influencers’, ‘Rationalists and logic’, ‘Gym bros and grams of protein per kg/lb of body mass’. There seems to be something inherent in the will to preach to others out of good will, that we want to share something that we believe would benefit others. The road to hell isn’t paved with good intentions for nothing...

I am not sure most foodies are thinking about food with every new person. Maybe hardcore foodies?
My experience says otherwise, but it might have happen to stumble on some militant foodies.
