The concept of religious identity involves a deep complexity that cannot be reduced to simple categorization. The speaker asserts that the idea of imitating Christ is associated with divine value, but the implications of this truth are immensely complicated. They argue that one cannot provide a low resolution answer to complex religious questions, and the conventional categorization of religious identity (e.g. Catholic, Protestant) may not adequately capture an individual's true religious essence. The speaker suggests that everyone operates within religious cognitive structures, whether they are aware of it or not. They also emphasize that their own Christian identity may not align with typical expectations, and they express discontent with being put into a restrictive religious category in order to avoid engaging with their ideas.
