I don't much experience that. I used to be a sincerely believing Christian, but I didn't actually like what I believed. I always thought it was a really unfair and hopeless situation we were in to have been created by and at the mercy of such a hypocritical dick, and that said hypocritical dick gets to decide who goes to heaven and who burns. Heaven also never sounded that great to me either. Better than hell, I guess, but from biblical descriptions it always sounded like an eternity of boredom and tedium.
Humans tend to think in terms of narratives. The images, the actions, the words...ceremony is a way to punctuate life and highlight plot points. This is why it continues to exist, even amongst those who don't use ceremony in a religious way. It's very human.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
