I grew up an atheist – my Mum had a rough time with her theocratic upbringing and omitted any of that stuff from my childhood.
My eldest son started high school today and parents were invited in to their first assembly of the year. They started with a prayer and, upon some secret phrase (not "amen", I would've clocked that), at least 80% of the audience crossed themselves simultaneously.
Unexpected, eerie cult vibes. I felt like a conspicuous outsider.
