Rich, I don't see how you can say the reason people conform is due to
societal pressures and the like. Clearly, that is *a* reason, but there
seem to be others. Almost all existing groups profess a set of values.
If you happen to share some, most, or all of the values of a group then you will
be comfortable being a member of that group.  There will be no great strain to
conform for the sake of conformity, but simply to maintain one's values.
