conformist?

Have you ever heard the word ‘conformist’ used other than as an insult? Yet have you also noticed how rare true independence and originality are? Those who would be rebels are within their own group more conformed in thought, appearance, and manner than the greater society they would criticize. Such is the human longing for identity. Do you hear criticism of believers for being conformed to me? Yet who would you rather be conformed to? The world wants to squeeze you into its mold, but I have created you in my image for a unique destiny. Don’t be ashamed to conform to me.
