I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm just echoing your statement. Most christians I know never give up or change anything when they decide to become believers. I know many who look at it as a way to justify their bigotry, selfishness and ego, as well as a way of having a whole new group of people to look down on and judge. I've know a few who had no problem with LGBTQ issues until they "found god". Then their peers persuaded them that their own rights trump theirs. And (as amply demonstrated on this forum) any criticism from outside their religion is automatically void, because THEY don't "walk with god" or some other bullshit.
