I have a feeling that if most people found out the rituals of GLO's, they'd be as bored to tears as if they were forced to go to someone else's church.

I don't find visiting other churches to be boring in the slightest! I am fascinated by the opportunity to observe religious rituals of many faiths, especially in foreign countries. There is a great deal to be learned there, even if you don't believe the spiritual aspects of the ritual.
For example, I've attended many Catholic masses, and of course I do not take communion. I'm sure that the experience of Mass is very different for someone who believes in transsubstantiation. But I get a great deal out of it nonetheless. It is literature, it is history, it is sociology, and it helps me to understand the people who ARE believers.
In fact, it seems a little sad to me that a college-educated person would have zero curiosity about literature, music, and poetry that mean a great deal to other people. Respecting privacy is great; I'm not saying anyone should seek out information that is meant only for members. But to really have no interest? If that's true, it's unfortunate IMHO.
