Opinion of the Episcopal Church

[Antonio the Sixth]

It'd be kind of nice if that was the case. It'd really be kind of nice.

The point of saying the Creed communally, of saying or doing anything communally or collectively or en masse or by rote, is reaffirmation. Reminding oneself what one believes is useful both psychologically and symbolically, and doing this in concert with other people reinforces the sociocultural aspect of religion (which is half the point of being religious).

I'd wager at least half of American Christians would disagree.

The etymology of religion literally means "binding [people] together".

Yes but for Americans that's not necessarily in a "sociocultural" sense.

The point is that religion is a sociocultural process in and of itself. That even applies to your weird subculture.
