That's exactly what I said.... pay attention. Your religion is one of society-man, meaning you draw morals and meaning from the relationship between yourself and your society. Your morals are based on both how society should treat people and how "civilized" people ought to act. Your sacred reality is hard to articulate.. it is the abstract of self-civilization. Meaning you worship (knowingly or not) the perfect you and the perfect civilization and try to make them more real.
But I'm just guessing.

Rejecting religious belief does not mean you escape it. So long as you are human, you are a religious creature, sorry.
