Truth or swag?

[vulcanlogician]

The swag also has to include belonging to the "in group" and (in some instances) feeling superior to gays and others. Same principle that attracts white nationalists to the alt right. You get to feel superior due to belonging to some arbitrary in group. This may not represent all theists, but if you look at the Evangelical culture in the South, it is very much "Jesus club" having more to do with in group/out group than any sort of truth. If someone lives in the American South, and is the type of person who joins a group only for it's fringe benefits, you better believe that they'll consider "becoming" a Christian.
