I hear this all the time and I absolutely hate it. You go to church once a week, go to bible study/cell groups, you follow all the traditionally conservative rules around protestant Christianity. You are part of a religion. Just because you believe you can personally communicate with God and don't need to go through the priests, it doesn't change the fact that you are still very much part of a religion.
that's some specifically american brainworm tho. it no doubt builds on the anglo anticatholic nonsense, but i dont think brits have this advanced 2.0 version of it.

Said it before and I’ll say it again. Reactionaries see themselves as the absence of politics, not a political idea.

gah my PARENTS do this, frick
Being political is anything that questions the status quo
Accepting the status quo requires no action and is therefore “non-political”
Fish not seeing the water around them basically
Cuz politics, to them, is anything intrusive and obstructive to them, that brings discomfort to power
"why won't the unworthies just lay down and die?"
