   You are almost there.

   Dreams are the stuff of religiousness.

   (I know of lot of religions, my own included, committing vast amounts of time, energy and treasure to Peace and Justice – on earth. Head in sand, you and yours simply aren’t paying attention.)

   Thus, despite all the clamoring of anti-religious rationalists, materialists and determinists (like prisoners raking their tin cups on the bars of their own intellectualized self-incarceration), "the religious” is not something infantile to be outgrown or argued out of.

   Ahh, the dreaming of and towards transcendence, the foundational impetus that launches the religious sense (no matter how critically short “religions” are in serving such real human longing and passion).

   Thus the religious sense really and provably “works” and fulfills.

   All good.I was merely alluding to the alarming percentage of drivers who don’t give a dang about the FACT of what should be rightly or legally required.

   Then again,

   “Insurance? I don’t need no stinkin’ insurance.”

   From one source:“Mississippi and Michigan, more than one in four drivers do not have insurance.”

   An equally infantile and toxic cynical analogy: Your local gas station keeping filling its underground tanks to keep you coming back to purchase more of its gas.

   Rather, just for starters, St. Justin Martyr (Feast day, June 1) died for his faith, not his philosophy.

   Rather, it was never “fine to sin,” sin always being considered a betrayal of one’s Baptismal identity as a Christ-person.

   Also, people ritualize their inner convictions, priorities, trusts, worldviews, personal philosophies, feelings, etc., all the time (rings, flowers, flags, parades, pledges of allegiance, donning vestment/clothing, bestow trinkets, etc.) Why do you separate out and pose ritual as a downer?

    Ritualizing was/is merely “faith in action.”

    Ritual vs faith (or philosophy, for that matter) is an utterly false dichotomy conjured by the “enlightened” unto their own intellectualized self satisfaction.
