the tattooing of your body with a religious symbol is a religious act, however muddled your intentions are to your conscious mind.
religion shares much territory with the arts (& much with quantum physics as well...both ends of the same continuous spectrum of evolutionary consciousness), but institutionalized religions tend to reject this over time as a threat. religion is the cipher, the mark on the wall of our cave of shadows...it is a symbol through which we simultaneously represent & also interpret the world & ourselves. It serves as the guide for our thoughts, intents, actions & behaviors, how we devote our time & energies, and how we organize our minds & our lives.
atheism itself is actually a religious choice, & most often, an essential one for a time.
