The other is that I simply enjoy participating in rituals; I'm not sure why. I sometimes go through the motions of a superstition, without any belief in it--knocking on wood, for example--just to satisfy that taste. But there's not nearly as much of that as there is religious ritual, and it's not as cohesive. I've been thinking of starting an innocuous secret society just to invent goofy traditions for it.

I was raised in a religious household, and I also do this, just with different rituals or motions. I'll often find myself preforming the clapping motion from Full-Metal Alchemist just as a side amusement while thinking or walking past walls, and I don't think a day has passed since I hit 15 that I wasn't pretending to swing a sword of some sort. I'd also like to add that, with no reason for other than the simple enjoyment of rituals, that I would seriously consider joining a secret society that was unknowingly based around goofy traditions.
