Is it okay to

Is it okay to be religious but not like religious religious?? Because throughout my whole life my family was and still is pretty modern regarding faith and we never mention it in the house. Sure, we all believe in god, we have icons above the main doorway, all of us are baptised and we celebrate Christmas and Easter, but I was never really interested in religion because I was never taught it as a child. It’s like I was born, saw what we believe in, and just went with it yk? And I’m okay with it but I’m wondering if it’s okay to be like that

The reason I’m asking this is because I had a friend over with her sister and mom since our families are friends, and they are very religious. All of them have bible verses in their bios, they implement religion in every conversation, and the little sister was bragging about how many bible verses she can remember. And you know the whole time it was kind of intimidating if I could say that, since that was literally the first time I’ve seen someone this religious. also I grew up with mostly freedom of religion in my family, and I remember even in 2021 when I told my dad that I was atheist ( I was for a little while) and he was completely okay with it, same with mama. And to summarise the whole thing I’m just wondering if I’m doing enough or is this even okay to have faith as a more avant-garde person?? Β 

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, I’m having paranoia at 1am

Super religious people tend to throw their knowledge of religion around to kind of show religious dominance (That’s how I see it anyway). So what I’m trying to say is no one can truly say this god or that god really exist, it’s what resonates with you. If people try and undermine anyones belief it’s wrong unless that certain belief is harming people. It’s totally okay if they want to educate you and try and teach you as long as it’s in your comfort zone and you are willing to talk about it. And it’s okay to flip flop on beliefs because you’re not sure, that’s what being a human is all about. It’s about trying new things and questioning everything. Don’t put to much thought into it and go with your gut :)
