 We seem to have in-group mentality built into us, though, and even among those who don't subscribe to any Christian faith and yet find themselves still leaning on spirituality, that community plays an important role. There is a neopagan community with 'temples'[^temples] in the area that is just as focused on community, activism, and political togetherness as any Christian church.
 
+How would this change on Lagrange, though? It's not as though the need for community disappears. Not everyone willing to embed their existence in some digital world will be a solipsist, especially not with a population into the tens of billions. Disregarding their theologies for a moment, there's no reason that religious communities would not also make the transition.
 
+Lagrange is, by its very nature, ungovernable. There can be no central authority other than the physical constraints of the system, for how would they enforce restrictions or protect identities and classes that were under- and non-privileged back phys-side (that is, back in the embodied world)? In-group mentality would only strengthen as such classes and identities would gravitate towards each other, no longer bound to physical location with no job or housing markets to speak of.[^hopeful]
+
+Thus having localized communities spring up around both these identities/classes as well as faith would make sense. One might find a community built around liberal Christianity with a predominantly queer congregation built in, or perhaps a group of antitheist libertarians set up up camp somewhere with their shared interests and beliefs.

+What these communities do also shifts.

+At one point, it's stipulated that there aren't jobs or professions in a post-scarcity system, just intensive interests.
 
 [^left]: While not strictly pertinent, it's interesting to note that, as Brad Lee Onishi describes in "The Orange Wave", prior to the seventies, one's church was often further left than its membership, leading to organized letter-writing campaigns, donation drives, and political organization behind what are now considered strictly liberal points. It wasn't until the rapid rise in evangelicalism that this began to change, with the neo-Calvinism core at many of their theologies professing an "if you're poor/downtrodden/discriminated against, you likely deserve it".
 
 [^temples]: 'Temples' in the sense of a congregation, though neither the Chicago nor Seattle temple has location.
