I think one way the New Faith works is, it gives people a conspiracy narrative to unify everyone and everything they've got accumulated beef with. It must be a huge relief for all your enemies to have one neck that you can get your hands around.

Patriarchy/white supremacy/DA JOOS/capitalism/whatever. Gives you an abstract box to put every single bit of rudeness, abuse, failure, suffering you've been carrying around with you your whole life. Very appealing if you're prone to rumination, guilt, ressentiment.

The New Faith takes that and adds, via social media, a community of belief, a kind of congregation, with all the social reinforcement and guidance that implies. That takes it out of the universities and college towns and into the wider culture.
