@splicer yeah, I think there's a real spectrum. Also in North American secular culture, we have other practices like: memorials and statues; named holidays; use of surnames or family names; naming children after family members; "what the founders intended"; family recipes; family traditions; genealogy; inheritance laws; historical reënactment.
I think drawing a clear line between these and other practices elsewhere might be hard.
