I have no interest in socializing with religious people, Javascript programmers, gym people, vegans, gamers, modern artists, car enthusiasts, cowboys, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, etc. That doesn't mean that what these people do is wrong, it simply means we have no shared interests or values, and my time is better spent with other people.
