You are not religion-less. You believe there is real value in a wrinkled piece of paper known colloquially as "a dollar bill". You believe in Canada. You believe in the imaginery line known as "the Canadian border". You believe in the social contract. You believe the bank will give you your money back, whatever "money" is. You are dripping religion already. There is nothing wrong with that. Save contempt for things that need it. Little does. The word is too strong for everyday use.
