Well, I think there's also a difference between preaching through a ritual versus acknowledging where the organization's values stem from.
I'm going to try to explain myself without revealing any aspects of my own Ritual, so hopefully it makes sense.
SigEp is not a religious Fraternity. But, SigEp was founded by students studying to become Baptist ministers. There are a few things in reference to our cardinal principles, VDBL (see siggy), that can be connected to some religious texts. But, I can say that I was never asked to pledge allegiance to a religion or anything of that nature.
So, if all of that was removed, a lot of the value would be lost.
