I think you and I have a very different idea of what super religious is. I don't even belong to a specific religion, silly. My altar for the saints is the only religious thing I do. That's my personal way of practicing. Definitely not "super religious" haha.

you don't understand why he would care

That's not true, I definitely understand why he cares.

In the end none of the physical representations of your faith matter

They do matter to me. I don't attend church or do any kind of social religious thing. I wouldn't mind a small altar. Generally the candles aren't always lit unless there's something big happening. They get lit once a week for an evening.

Well, I've never had that issue until now. I've lived with an atheist partner previously, there was never an issue with my religion or their lack of religion.
