And I used to think that proof that I had religion was whether I knew how to sing all of the songs.

Summary

This quote reflects a misconception about the true essence of religion. The speaker believed that their religiosity was demonstrated solely by their ability to memorize and sing religious songs. However, this perspective overlooks the deeper aspects of faith, such as personal beliefs, spiritual connection, and moral values. It suggests that the speaker had equated superficial expressions of religious practices with a genuine connection to their faith, demonstrating a limited understanding of what it means to have a meaningful religious experience.
