"Also, if you're homeless you literally have nothing, what's wrong with finding solace in religion?"
A significant portion of homeless people are actually 'invisible' homeless people- people living out of their cars, or sleeping on couches. They arguably do have things, up to and including a sense of identity and self for which any attempt of indoctrination must erode. I don't think someone who is sleeping on a friend's couch would be down for sleeping on a bed instead for the low low price of conversion therapy.
(FTR: I don't think religion is brainwashing/conversion therapy or whatever. I also just think this take is also very bad.)
