sure, but i also mean in more subtle, unconscious ways. for example, swedes think they have a far-reaching freedom of religion, however, it doesn't reach farther than belief and practice in your own bedroom, just like protestant christianity. which doesn't have any public festivals or practices, it doesn't demand that you wear certain clothes or symbols, eat specific food, and so on
all that isn't considered religion here, it's just culture of the other
