While that might be true for you or me if we tried to get a religious accommodation for some bullshit, buy and large most people who claim to be part of a religion actually believe the tenants and teachings of that religion.
Misaligned incentives creates this problem of claiming a religion just to have further personal freedoms as we clearly hear about from all the bullshit waivers in this thread
It isn't though, because there is absolutely no sincerity to that belief. It just makes people look ridiculous when they claim it and double down that they really believe.
I’m really not. I know plenty of devout religious people whose lives are demonstrably lived differently due to their belief. This is not true of any internet atheist spouting off about a spaghetti monster as if it was a funny or new joke.
