Not even gender is fixed.
Let me give you an example. Make it two examples. I have a friend who is from Iran and was born to Muslim parents. I asked him if he's a practicing Muslim. He said "F--k Muhammad." Woe !!! I have another Muslim friend from Iran who was diagnosed with Glacouma. I think he would be more scared if he knew the severity of it. Any way I asked him if he was going to pray. He said "I don't know how to pray. Maybe I will ask my dad."

To quote what he said to me, "I face enough discrimination as a Black man so why would I want to add being a Muslim to it".
