What does it mean to be "religious"?
You obey the Commandments - even the little ones between the lines. You are kind, patient, and considerate. You go to Church. You pray when it is appropriate to pray. You give your available time and money to the Church and/or to charity. You structure some of your life around the Sabbath and religious holy days. You join organizations that further your religiosity. You say the things that believers are (more or less) obliged to say. You help your spouse to be religious, and you teach your children to be like you. When your kids' "activities" conflict with significant religious observances, the religious observances take precedence.
OR, you could be un-religious, non-religious, or anti-religious. In which case you do "what you think is 'right,'' you are considerate when it is in your own best interest to be considerate. You never pray, your Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are devoted to self-absorbed pleasure seeking. You vote for Democrats and consider yourself "empathetic" by doing so. You tell yourself and others that you are a "good" person. You marry someone who is as indifferent to religion as you are and avoid associating with religious "fanatics." You teach your kids to be similarly unreligious, so there is never any issue with religious stuff interfering with soccer practice, play dates, or screen time.
I submit that whether you believe in God or any particular theological structure or not, it is better to live in the former way than the latter. Christian, Mormon, 7DA, whatever. Religiosity is the better way to live.
Just as it is better to treat your "loved ones" with respect, kindness, consideration, and affection, whether you are feeling the love at any particular moment in time or not.
To quote the late Charlie Kirk, "Prove me wrong."
