An ex-Christian went viral on TikTok for an unorthodox reason.

TikToker @redbirdmoon.co recently went viral after posting a video of themselves celebrating the breaking of their Christian affiliation in the form of an "unbaptism" ritual.

The ritual, which has been performed and uploaded online previously, features ex-Christians denouncing their belief in Christianity—and often the Christian God itself—and embracing either a different religious affiliation or standard atheism.

In the video, @redbirdmoon.co can be seen sitting in a bathtub filled with water and drinking out of a cup that appears to be filled with wine.

The overlay of the video says:

“Anti communion of apple and wine.”

She also wrote:

“I recited the Lord’s Prayer backwards and chanted ‘I am free’ 23 times."
“I declared all ties to the Christian god and The church to be broken and banished.”

The video features the song "God is a Freak" by Australian pop singer Peach PRC (@peachprc), who later shared @redbirdmoon.co's video in a duet on TikTok.

Protestant Christianity had been the primary religion in the United States for a long time. But in 2021 church affiliation fell down to lows indicating Christians are no longer in the majority.

While there are several different sects of Christianity, the two predominant sects of Christianity in the United States are Catholicism and Protestantism, both of which require followers to be baptized in order to be admitted into heaven after death.

Many Christians believe without a proper baptism, a person will be sent to hell. This dire outlook may be one of the main reasons the religion is no longer popular with newer generations.

Many millennials and zoomers who were raised Christian have chosen to denounce their religion and engage in these "unbaptism" ceremonies.

TikTokers are applauding @redbirdmoon.co's video, expressing appreciation over the ritual and sharing their own religious trauma.

With the decline of Christianity in the US, it's likely that these types of anti-religious rituals may increase over time.

Robert Downey Jr. Reveals Gwyneth Paltrow Had No Clue Who Tom Holland Was Despite Starring In Several Movies With Him

It’s been nearly six years since Gwyneth Paltrow last suited up as Pepper Potts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet according to Robert Downey Jr., she still struggles to tell certain Avengers apart.

Downey Jr. roasted his longtime co-star in spectacular fashion while presenting her with The Hollywood Reporter’s Sherry Lansing Leadership Award, a moment that played less like a formal tribute and more like Tony Stark gently ribbing Pepper for forgetting who Spider-Man is.

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump by riffing off the presidential "Walk of Fame" Trump unveiled in the White House back in September, gifting us the "Presidential Walk of Fatigue" instead.

In September, Trump's assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former U.S. presidents. Martin announced that "The Presidential Walk of Fame has arrived on the West Wing Colonnade," and the video she shared pans over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

The OU Student Who Got A Zero On Her Bible-Based Essay Was Just Honored By Republicans—Because Of Course

Samantha Fulnecky, the University of Oklahoma student who received a zero on a psychology essay about gender after using the Bible as her only source, was honored by the Oklahoma House of Representatives with a special "Citation of Recognition" this week after her complaint—which resulted in a transgender graduate student being placed on administrative leave—made headlines.

Fulnecky's instructor Mel Curth, a transgender woman, assigned her students a 650-word essay about how gender stereotypes impact societal expectations of individuals. Fulnecky instead wrote about what the Bible says about "traditional gender roles," arguing that to refer to them as "stereotypes" is "demonic."

A sycophant is a person who "acts obsequiously toward someone important in order to gain advantage." An acolyte is a "true believer who helps carry out orders like a henchman, sidekick, or disciple."

While the words often get used interchangeably, they don't mean the same thing.
