Discipline
Commitment
Routine
Tradition
Habit
Obligation
Religiosity
Fear
Control

Example of humility could be an atheist walking into a place of worship now that's humility!

Are you actually reading my posts. Did I ask for an example of humility?

Edit: sorry, that sounds quite blunt. Not meant to be.

Huh?

I've walked into Churches, usually to admire the medieval architecture and stained glass windows.

I wasn't exactly being humble at the time.

There are plenty of atheists, including famous ones, who visit churches and
listen to sermons to here what they say.

It's not [necessarily] any indication of humility on the part of the atheist.

I would also say that I've sat through church services before, and sung hymns.
I wasn't being humble, or showing humility then either.

Often I was rather irritated.

Your point is still busted.

An atheist walking into a church neither requires or shows humility.

Well, duhin my humble opinion, in my opinion, in my opinion, in my opinion I think it's humility when people walk into churches. Because they have so many things they could do on a Sunday like sleep in!

The virtue of humility in its simplest terms: seeing ourselves for who and what we are [as God sees us by His standards].

Many "walk into churches" for social approval in the community, for good luck in their business or for show. Motive matters.

Stolen kisses much completer,
Stolen looks are nice in chapels,
Stolen, stolen, be your apples."

Song of Fairies Robbing an Orchard
by James Henry Leigh Hunt (1784-1859)

Hey, BDP, ever steal one in a chapel?
