I agree with whoever said that this whole thing has made a huge revival of patriotism as well. I've always been proud to death of my country, but now I feel tears well up every time I see the American flag at half-mast. (I'm too emotional for my own good and I think I'm gonna be one of those bawling girls at my pref night...years from now
) But yeah, when you grow up without an organized religion, you have to find subsititutes. I believe in my family and my friends and God, whoever or whatever he is, and I believe in myself and in this country. And SO to address the question, yes, all those beliefs have been a lot stronger this past week.
