[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teen, and up through college, I attended mass regularly even though I do not think I was ever a believer.

I did this because my parents wanted to me to, because it was a cultural heritage, and honestly, out of habit (no pun intended).  My (incorrect) assumption was that everyone else went for the same reasons and thought as I did.

So I think the label “religious but not spiritual” definitely applied to me.[/quote]

You don't sound religious (or spiritual).  Most Americans are like that; they will check the box "Catholic" (in your case), but they really don't believe. They just go to church out of inertia.  Thanks for commenting.[/quote]

“Most” check the box but don’t actually believe? Cites, please.

[b]“Churchgoers are there for the fellowship only” poster rides again. [/b]To continue the metaphor, why have you been beating this dead horse for years? You have no data to back it up. [/quote]

Fellowship and sense of community and feeling good about love your fellow man and stuff.  Religion lite.  Which church do you go to?  Church shop any?[/quote]

[b]Cites, please, for your frequent claim that “most” church-goers fall into this category?[/b][/quote]

That's just my sense of it, what's yours?[/quote]

As somebody who is actually religious and goes to a house of worship, that’s not my sense at all.

You’re an outsider, and your sense is wrong and sounds more like wishful thinking. Time to stop making declarations about things you aren’t close to and don’t understand, how bizarre. [/quote]
