Not all famous people's friends are famous. 🤷🏼 They both used to be part of the cosplay community that would attend a lot of anime conventions, but somebody made a joke about doxxing myself, so I don't feel comfortable saying much else.
I hate to be "that zoologist" (because I'm not a zoologist), but isn't that a shrew?
A lot of Austin, Texas too.
"Euphemism Treadmill" on Wikipedia. Very interesting subject!

That being said, there's a difference between being in tune with your God versus memorizing lists of rules and historical facts related to your religion and other religions. Like, I'm an atheist, but I've read a lot about religions, yet there are lifelong Catholics I know that don't know Catholicism is a type of Christianity. They believe it to be a completely separate religion. There's also a lot of interesting stories in the Bible that I've referenced, but they've never heard of in spite of many Christians considering the Bible to be the backbone of their religious beliefs.
Not that that translates directly to a D&D cleric or paladin, but it goes to show that being a part of a religion isn't inherently linked to knowing stuff about it.

"You're all assholes too? Psh, then why am I pretending not to be?!"
