    I think also in times of hardship joining a religion is an easy way to find community and mutual aid networks. Also a good way to avoid persecution and have an advantage if the state favours a certain religion.

      Yep. There is a strong history of immigrant communities organizing around their shared religion or even physically inside their houses of worship like the Irish catholics in the 1900s.
