I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don't eat beef. It's not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn't raised very religious, I didn't go to temple everyday and read Gita every evening unlike most muslims who are somewhat serious about their religion, my family has this watered down religion (which has it's advantages).

But yeah, not eating beef is a moral issue I deal with. I mean, I don't care that I don't eat beef, but the fact that I eat pork and chicken but not beef seems to me to be weird. So, is there any religious practice that you guys follow to this day?

edit: I like religious music, religious temples (Churches, Gurudwara's, Temples & Mosques in Iran), religious paintings and art sometimes. I know for a fact that the only art you could produce is those days was indeed religious and the greatest artists needed to make something religious to be funded, that we will never know what those artists would have produced in the absence of religion, but yeah, religious art is good nonetheless.

I enjoy blaspheming. (God dammit, Jesus fucking Christ, etc)

I try to pry it out of my lexicon but can't do it, especially when I'm mad which of course is most likely when I blaspheme.

Totally agree! "God" just has that ring to it. I haven't found a suitable replacement yet

One of my favourites is “Christ on a bike!” because it’s so hilarious.

I use Christ on a cracker. No clue if I heard it somewhere or if it just came out of my mouth one day.

"Jesus H Christ" always made me smirk not sure why. Like Christ was his last name or something.

I like “Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!”

Now that you say it, I think I do that too.
