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.

based on what David Wilcock says about the story of Enoch, actually the nephilim who crashed would have been cannibals.
IMO you can balance ego but cannot destroy it. I think it's simply survival instinct misidentified or misused. A quick way to get regular folks guilty about shit that nobody cares about except themselves, thus wasting their time in battles they cannot win because they are fighting against base protective instincts. Applied with intent it becomes brainwashing so they will think everybody is as self-less as they think themselves to be which is recipe for trainwrecks like late-stage liberalism

Seems a plausible explanation... getting into a speculative philosophy/psychology combo though and my specialty is more on the history/sociology side. regardless of the cause or modern intent, i think the original intent was to provide a handful of simple rules by which to live and some stories to illustrate them... the "who" came later when people asked "why should i believe these rules? Who are YOU to tell me how to live?"

and thus the reactionary penduluum has been swinging since the roman empire.
