Not everyone draws on what is commonly known as "religion". If you mean to redefine religion as "whatever one uses to make meaning and find purpose in life", then of course you would be correct even though you would have said nothing at all.It says a lot. It says you guys want to make yourself different, but really you are not all too different. You value something above all else (whatever that is, is a god to you), you try to finding meaning in that, and you have your way of defining right and wrong, and have your way of explaining life. There is nothing different. You have a creed, a religion, an ideology, a way of life, and you have a god or gods among many gods. And you centre your attention on people you don't know for sure are worth that attention just like all false religions do.
This is what it proves.
It says a lot about you that you have to label something "god" just to try and sound less stupid and arrogant.
What I value the most is in no way related to the term "god".
