I agree with this 100%. I never understood religious people who look down upon good, upstanding non-religious people and say that they're going to hell because they don't go to church even though they have not done anything wrong. Like Munchkin, I was raised without relgion, but my family has a Christian background, so we celebrate Christmas and Easter, but mostly for the gifts and family gatherings. I would consider myself agnostic because I don't believe that one has to go to church or be religious to be a good person and to have morals, but I do believe in a higher being or force of some sort. I think the spirituality is more important than the act of going to church and participating in the ceremonies--religion is something that you should internalize, not something that you should have to prove to other people.
