Sort of. It's based on an expectation that progressivism will continue to push into religious areas of concern, outlawing more and more religious behavior.
So it's pre-emptive disengagement from certain social and secular spheres. Early retreat, to refocus on spiritual matters.

I think counterculture generally stays engaged in all society, just pursuing a partisan agenda. You can’t save the whales if you don’t fight those who want to eat them.
