I'm thinking there is a lot of ''prosperity gospel'' rationalization going on.

They're just aligning with the current regime ruling Amerika, who also espouses the prosperity gospel. In other words, the exact opposite of what Jesus taught. They call themselves Christians, but they're not. Heck, things have gotten so bad when preachers go preaching the Beatitudes their congregants complain about their preaching that woke liberal nonsense. They're actually complaining about the words attributed to Jesus as being "woke liberal nonsense."

So yeah, Silicon Valley is Embracing "Christianity."

The cool thing about Christianity is that scriptural material may be found to support a variety of perspectives and opinions. It is similarly straightforward to collect bible quotes to support conservative political outlooks as it is to support liberal political beliefs. This is one of the reasons it has persisted in its popularity for thousands of years.
It's almost like you need an ecumenical authority to decide these matters. Too bad we never had one (or a couple) of those... :)
To me it’s virtue signaling taken to an extreme. It’s so frustrating to deal with because the “lifestyle” or “thought” or whatever itself is a logical fallacy. I don’t mean believing in God, but acting against what Jesus said and believed but believing in it paradoxically.
