I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.

          Yes?

          Just as Sweden is a subset of Scandinavia.

          Sometimes subsets are important.
