The fact that secularism is a term that needs to exist, is stupid.
I rarely 'meet' people who grew up like you, there was always some type of spirituality coming from their family of origin. So, it's cool to see someone who has never been 'tainted' by the trappings of religion. Not even a smidge.
Keep it that way. haha
I must give some credit to myself though, I went to a church of England primary school and once a week we would go to church and pray and sing hymns and stuff. And every day we would have an assembly that starts with a prayer and involves hymns. I remember, never believing any of it and just going along with it because everybody else did. It was just one of those weird things everybody did.
You've just described 98% of all Christians
