I agree that most religious people would be just as happy being christian, or muslim or jewish, they just enjoy sharing traditions with their loved ones. Like I said before, most religious people really arn't very religious. Most religious people are not intellectually or spiritually invested in their own religion. Most have never read their own religious texts, or put much thought into the darker sides of their religion.
When i talk about "religious people" i'm really talking about that 10% of each religion that are the fanatics, and actually believe in the dogma.
