I was that kid too. I'd sneak out of church with my best friend and we'd find a vending machine across the street and buy candy to eat behind the church before sneaking back in.

As an adult, I do see that tradition and ritual are important to people though. And there are some beautiful things in the Book of Common Prayer. I feel like if religion were just about tradition and ritual and mindfulness, those would be valuable. But it's not. And often in the world, religion is a force for division and suffering.

Absolutely agree, Ive grown to respect the tradition and ritual side for sure. Even my kids, the only side they really know about religion is more on the tradition side. Mainly because that's what they have been exposed to throughout my larger family.
