•unlikely to overspend or be heavily in debt

•dislike the emphasis of modern cultures on "making it" and "success", on consuming and making money

•like people, places and things that are different or exotic. I live a life of Universal Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, God consciousness, and universal higher consciousness in secularity-minded fashions. I am proud to be a heretic, a sinner, fleshly, worldly, a heather, a pagan, profane, vulgar, obscene, a committee of the unpardonable sin against The Holy Spirit, a hell-bound demon, excommunicated, disfellowshipped, a person in need of exorcisms, and a blasphemer in the eyes of conventional traditionalists. I left the evangelical movement for the human rights movement. The Universe with Planet Earth is my church, people who are different than me are are my church, all inner beauty walks of life,and people who are outcasts are my church. Everywhere I go is my church. I think Jesus, Buddha, Christ figures, and wise sages from my secular lens are about secular global sexual justice warriors, global reproductive justice warriors, global justice to our personal lives, and global justice to our professional lives.
