what religion/s do you follow? • Penpal-Gate

Before I dive into what I believe today, I think it’s important to share the journey that brought me here. I was raised in a real Christian environment by default, specifically within a Baptist family. Because of the intense societal and familial pressure to conform to a strict doctrine, I still pretend to be Christian in public and around my immediate family to protect myself from what they might think.

However, my private personal journey has been a rapid series of evolutions and religious disaffiliations:

Mid-8th Grade Year: I officially stepped away from Christianity and converted to Nonreligious.
Mid-December 2025: I transitioned into an Agnostic Atheist.
April 25, 2026: I shifted to an Areligious Agnostic Atheist (which I shorten to A3).
May 1, 2026: I added political detachment to my identity, becoming an Apolitical Areligious Agnostic Atheist (A4).
May 6, 2026: I evolved further into a Secular Apolitical Areligious Agnostic Atheist (A4S/SA4).

Eventually, I got incredibly tired of having to constantly switch labels and navigate the heavy pressure to choose a single, established faith. To put an end to this cycle, on June 2, 2026, I officially converted to a belief system of my own creation: Conwairsicurism.

To be very clear, Conwairsicurism is not an organized religion, and it never will be. It is a strictly private philosophy and belief system designed for a single person—me—to stay as far away from organized religion and politics as possible. Because it is a system designed purely for self-guidance, its leader is "Conwairsicur" (the Assassin of Awareness), which is the private handle and nickname I use for myself.

Instead of relying on tradition or "magic," it focuses entirely on human reason, logic, and science. It acts as a private sanctuary that seamlessly weaves together 20 different frameworks so I never have to change my label again. Specifically, it combines Secularism, Apolitism, Areligiousness, Agnosticism, Atheism, Feminism, Humanism, Freethought, Skepticism, "None," Indifferentism, Apatheism, Empiricism, Rationalism, Scientism, Cosmism, Materialism, Neutralism, Nonalignment, Independency, and Voluntarism into one cohesive philosophy.

I firmly believe that if you cannot find an existing label that accurately fits who you are, you have every right to build your own.
