Re: What should we do…
That’s weird.
Why would an agnostic pray and fast? To me, freedom from these rituals and the paranoia associated with them was one the major benefits of leaving religion. No more worrying about was my prayer alright, will it get accepted yada yada yada. To each his own I guess.
I was thinking about the term cultural muslim. Not sure if I am one but I am a legal muslim for sure. My Pakistani papers say my religion is Islam and there is no way to get it changed to anything else. You can go from anything to Islam but it does not work the other way around. You’re stuck with Islam if you were born to legally muslim parents or you made the mistake of converting to the religion.
There is a large group of his friends who are all born and raised here and they all enjoy the bonding, the celebrations the rituals etc. Ramadan and Eid provide incredible feasts bonding and celebrations. Most Christians I know are cultural Christians also.
Do you have American citizenship yet?
