What fail to be able to divorce yourself from, is that I dont care about the religious aspect. It is about respect. For instance, I have been at hockey games where the play the Canadian national anthem. Am I Canadian? Fuck no. Did I sing along or say anything? No. I did however stand out of respect. Quietly, but standing none the less.
