Tribal loyalty towards your former religion

[tjakey]

I have zero fondness for the ideology of my old faith, but many of the people most important to my heart hold onto that ideology. So an atheist attends a grand daughter's full on Catholic baptism with nothing but joy and hope, and pays little attention to the gaudy cathedral, childish theatrics, and false worldview behind the whole thing. At its heart people who I love are making a vow to love, cherish, and care for the child in their arms. That is good enough for me.
