I think the cherry picking is tied to what you said about judging each bit of philosophy by its own merit. I mean, technically speaking, I do value certain philosophies that are integral to these two religions I've mentioned. But I wouldn't go as far to say I'm an Atheist Christian or secular Buddhist. I just so happen to incorporate small bits in my own life purely because the joint mass of all these small portions of philosophy are what I would call "good living", full stop.
