word of it. I suspect a great many.

I KNOW there are many who profess to be religious, and really DO believe what they say they believe.

But I think there are a great many who don't, who just go along to get along, who pretend to be religious because of social pressures, maybe because their church is a good place for networking for their business/job, because all their family members go, because there is, especially in certain locations, quite a stigma against being an atheist, agnostic, etc.

On edit: I'm not saying this makes them "bad." In some areas, the church is about the only social outlet there is.
