  I think what a lot of people who grew up religious don&apos;t realize until after they leave is how deeply cultural religion is. Arguably for many people, religion functions first as a cultural practice and only secondly as a spiritual practice

  I suspect most of us here are &quot;dones&quot; but our fascination with religious studies is part of our residue.

  Reminds me of a saying I heard: “If you’re an atheist in Madison Wisconsin, the god you don’t believe in is Lutheran”

  I appreciate how you go deeper than the headline findings and always make a point to explain the full complexity. Religion is such a fascinating topic that deserves to be studied in its full depth.

  a religion is cultural as much as it is spiritual, so leaving a religion feels like abandoning a cultural practice

  &quot;The deepest, stickiest parts of religion are not the docterines you learned in Sunday School. They&apos;re the things you watched you mom or dad enact over and over at a real cost since you were 5 years old.&quot; This really resonates.
