Of course the line between pretending and believing is a thin one.

    I don't walk this line. Whenever anyone mentions anything faith based I listen attentively, offer them no opinion then redirect back to the task at hand. I'm here to work, not encourage nor dissuade anyone from believing in anything.

    Personally I think that if you're so weak willed to need a sky daddy to tell you what to do using riddles in a 1500 year old book, and not have the dignity nor professionalism to keep it out of the workplace then the chances you'll actually listen to me at all are slim, but you'll never hear me say that. Just do your job and I'll do mine. Simple.

    Exactly, tradespeople have to deal with the expectations of specific persona to get along in their fields, too.

    I quite my electrical apprenticeship. I didn't hate women enough. I didn't hate queer people enough. I didn't hate the younger people enough. I didn't hate myself enough. I hated authority too much. I hated social norms too much. I cared about my health too much. But worst of all... Like on the level of genocide bad... I rode a bike to work.

    The support for your job's bullshit is just a job requirement

    I never even tried, and none of my former employers took me seriously. "Oh, isn't it cool, we have a Punk now, too!"

    Thoroughly enjoyed surprising them by doing exactly what anyone else would expect: quitting the instant they started doing shady shit. Blindsided the lot of'em.
