attend the church weddings of friends for one reason and one reason only; for them. I don’t pray (I don’t even lower my head), and I don’t sing. I try to keep my participation to a minimum. The good thing is they understand this ( I have good friends).
Right there with you. I stopped that crap a long time ago. I've even gone one step further where I refuse to sit and listen to religious claptrap simply to be polite.
I won't say what I think of someone's beliefs (religious or political) unless they open their mouths and start preaching to me.

When at home over Christmas I don’t celebrate it I don’t decorate and all that, but when I’m at family for Christmas I partake of the gift
I'm all over the decorating and feasting aspect of holidays. The more holidays the merrier I say, I'll celebrate them all! But it's more from a cultural standpoint than anything religious.
At least I know the real reasons why I'm dragging an evergreen into my home in the dead of winter and why I'm painting eggs pretty colors.
