Just for fun let us distinguish Type A and Type B. A is actually a social club to relieve loneliness, provide some feeling of identity, and some fuzzy comfort. Real energy goes into capitalism. Type B religious feeling affects one’s lifestyle and world outlook. If one belongs to a peace religion, for example, one really is peaceful and really works for spiritual peace at some depth. Nominal religious identification does not tell me very much.
