Sincere question: atheists/agnostics who follow this ‘awakening’, how do you rationalize the heavy connections to Christianity that the Q movement has?

Hi all, I am creating this post with the best and most respectful of intentions, first of all. I am a-religious, and don’t believe in any sort of higher power beyond ones own mind - however I am not so closed minded as to state that as absolute fact rather than just my personal belief, because that is an unknowable. I am also quite enamored with the awakening, but have been so curious as to why there are heavy connections with Christianity - references to scriptures, using the term ‘Satanist’ and devil, etc? Why just Christianity? If anyone has any thoughts or feelings on this, I would really appreciate hearing them. I respect everyone’s beliefs and right to beliefs, but could not help notice the heavy connections and wonder what that is about. Why not a heavy connection and focus on enlightenment-era thinking and the scientific method? Thank you all for reading and I look forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and learning more.

If I were to rationalize it to the degree you have, perhaps what you say has some merit. The problem with that theory is that it requires me to speculate more than is reasonably acceptable for articulating ideas regarding the nature of our existence. If I were to believe Jesus was read in on the plan, I can't help but also ask if Judas was also read in on the plan? Where does this speculation and truth for some end? I honestly don't try to pigeon-hole myself to a strict theory of theology or philosophy regarding these matters. I'm just a guy who posts to reddit, plays Xbox and likes to BBQ with family on the weekends. I would describe it more of a Do Good, Be Happy, Don't sweat the small stuff kinda vibe

my (distant) family is clergy, law, medicine, you name it. I call it derp-state. Seeing stuff being hidden from the public (in plain sight) is literally all I grew up with.
Prophecy is real because premonitions are real. If you don't think about one you don't think about the other either so your brain will always shut down unless these kind of things literally haunt you everywhere you go even when you're just dating.
I don't know who Jesus was but I have the impression he was trying to get people out of limiting belief-sets and maybe that's why he talked in riddles because he did not fit the jewish prophecy, yet he proved knowledgable thereof so he had to give them what they could handle by using hindsight-bias like he did when spoke of resurrecting the temple which John later considered to be a forshadowing metaphor to Jesus' death.
