Ex-'Christian Cult' Member Goes Viral After Sharing Her 'Unbaptism' Ritual Video—And TikTok Is Into It

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.
