i have this problem as well.

i have addressed it quite effectively by learning to see myself as superior, banding together with similarly like-minded individuals, forming a secret society, and then manipulating the "unawakened" for profit and personal gain.

the important thing is to learn how to mimic their primitive beliefs and customs and present yourself as even more fervent than they. then you don't arouse suspicion.

it is rather satisfying.

hee hee hee.
just kidding.

i live in a culture where religion is a complete non-issue, so it doesn't come up.

i feel for the people that have to deal with religious folk on a regular basis though. you can either hide it and play along, or be open and expose yourself to the conformity enforcement mechanisms that have been built into the faith: ridicule, social isolation, physical violence, even murder.

i can understand why some people start secret societies.
