Agreed, and why I replied above that this is most difficult when actions are involved. Faking "beliefs" via non-action, non-participation, non-dissent, non-verbalization is pretty easy, from my experience over the last 15mos.
Not feeling conflicted when I either do or don't make the sign of the cross when we're having people over for dinner, whether to actually lead prayers when we host because that's the "man's role" in the Christian house in order not to make people suspicious by having my wife lead them (which is what we've been doing) is much harder.
It probably won't help socially, but there are alternative prayers.
Fantastic. I actually bring that up in a non-prayer way quite often, as the idea that god provided the food that I earned via work and my wife made via effort is silly, indeed.
