As a Catholic convert (long journey from born in a Muslim country -> Atheism -> Nihilism -> Agnosticism -> Catholicism) I agree with what you said.
I am not interested in arguing with people here about why God exists and Christianity is the truth but I wanted to add that I think there is a lot more than just debating "liberals" which attracts people to Christianity: the Sacraments, community, sense of purpose, temperance, life of service and let's not forget beauty, arts and philosophy; all of which are intertwined with Christianity.
You can argue that the above is not exclusive to "religion" and you would probably be right however organized religion put those well within one's reach with ease and it just so happens that the dominant religion on the West is Christianity; thus we are seeing many people return to Church as a result.
Perhaps battling non-Christian and "woke" is a pathway in for some but that phase doesn't last very long and what truly converts people at the end is Love, Scripture, Community and the Works.
