You might not have said it but I think a lot of religious people think they have a moral superiority over those of us who are not , I think deep down it's a social get together , a fashion parade etc every Sunday for people who deep down are afraid of death

There may well be an afterlife , who knows but you don't have to be religious to be moral , kind and a good person
