(2,682 posts)figured out which church the rich people attended and that's where she took us. She wasn't into the dogma or actual practice, just wanted to be where the upper class spent their Sunday mornings. Therefore, religion was never a big part of my young life. I remember when I was in high school, the school library had a set of small books -- one book for each of the major religions in the world. I read each and every one of them. I wish I could remember the author. By the time I finished, I figured they couldn't ALL be right, therefore they ALL had to be wrong. Atheism was the only thing that made sense to me then and to this day (I'm 66).
Yes, there is a "language" religious people speak with one another. For me, it's like listening to people discuss the divinity of the holy trinity, the easter bunny, Santa, and leprechauns.
