And I did that I put on my ritualistic dress

Whatever it may be, you know the kind of thing I'm talking about people who are attracted to the ritualistic side, the moralistic, communal side of religion, but can't bear the doctrine.

Here is an example from an op ed on Thanksgiving, in the Boston Globe a couple of years ago, where the writer wrote, The Indian life was a difficult one, but there were no employment problems, community harmony was strong, substance abuse unknown, crime nearly non existent, what warfare there was between tribes was largely ritualistic and seldom resulted in indiscriminate or wholesale slaughter. Now, you're all familiar with this treacle.
