boost: If Judaism Was the Religious Majority by @spacevinci
...how would Christian practices be orientalized? @spacevinci provides a snappy demonstration. Their persona is deeply involved in Jewish ritual, channeling the supremely self-confident attitude that power enables.
My family is Jewish; I was raised in a strictly atheist household. I never attended temple or Sabbath dinners. @spacevinci's disinterest in the timing, pronunciation, or meaning of Christian observances resonates with my experience growing up -- Christians assumed I'd know all about their prayers, holidays, and traditions.

Say it’s vintage or it’s avant-garde, whatever boats your float

Other Christians tend to assume a lot about Quakers. I got it the other day with someone talking about the G-d of the trinity and how I'd believe that 'of course'. Um no, like most Quakers, I'm a unitarian!
Yes, indeed Quakers do things differently -- and wonderfully!
I was lucky to attend Farm & Wilderness Camps for four years. Every day started with silent meeting, and after two years I began attending Friends Meeting in my own town.
In addition to offering light when I needed it, what I learned from Friends' examples prepared me to participate in co-ops, collectives, and political activity.
