You may not be practising your religion but you need to follow one.
Merely out of curiosity, what exactly does it mean to "follow" a religion without "practising" it? Does it mean Douglas Adams had the right idea with his Electric Monks?

Quote from: Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe.
