I hear what you’re saying too. I think part of it is that we, meaning secular humanists and atheists, have been trained by the theists/Christians to think your belief system is something you have to constantly attend to. Think about it…they need bumper stickers, fish decals, weekly church, constant prayer, church groups AFTER church, bible studies OUT of church, retreats, rosaries, jewelry/crucifixes, and on and on to constantly keep them reinforcing (some might call it brainwashing) their beliefs.
To me that’s a sign of how weakly they hold their beliefs. Us OTOH, we’ve made our choice, and we get on with it. And as an aside, I think this is one of those cases where, if it turned out there was a god, she’d say hey, I know you didn’t do all the religious “bling” but you led a good life and tried to help others…you’re in!
