    Not everyone who is deeply religious is a true believer. Some just see it as a community, and the rigid adherance to the rules as the key to that community. One of the rules is to always say you’re a true believer, though. My sister in law is like this. She just decided one day to join a religion, researched the ones with the perks that best suited her and joined it.

      My aunt joined a humanist church, which is basically “religion” for atheists. It was literally just Sunday mass without the worship.
