He's a concept or a metaphor for goodness. It's like the ancient miracle plays where you personify a quality or an attribute.
So you're not a Christian, more an atheist but who likes to continue the religious culture of a country. I guess that makes sense....
For me, having no part in religion even culturally is not a rebellious act. It's simply a lack of interest. I'm not religious, so why par-take in religious events? Just because something my be traditional doesn't mean it should be followed. Change is a great thing my friend.
Religion is the old belief system that has been made completely redundant by the scientific method. Time to let it die.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
