I have pretty heavy judgement for people who have made it well into adulthood without bothering to engage with the reality of what they support.
However, always leave room for people who were raised in this crap. It takes serious time to deprogram and some people will do it at 16 and others might take until 26. I'm 31 and still deconstructing some of the repressive religious bullshit from my childhood even though I swing hard left politically (well past the Democratic Party) at 18. The brain doesn't stop developing until 25, so at least give them some leeway until then to figure out what they really believe.
