About 4 to 5 years ago, my wife started following a new religion. I genuinely have little idea about it but the church she follows online is primarily, if not all, African American. She started following a Sabbath and gives 10% of her salary to the church or other charitable causes.
It has caused a number of frustrations, but we carry on. One thing however is she refuses to go to anything that may conflict with her religion, and I'm not talking about heavy metal concerts.
Recent examples - I have a Hindu friend getting married and invited us. She won't go because it requires going to a Hindu temple. Anything outside of her faith is considered pagan.
Family are having a "fun day" today. We try to do this a couple times a year and Easter Friday is a good day as everyone is off. My aunt messaged everyone and mentioned "Easter Fun Day". Because she considers Easter pagan, or at least have pagan origins/traits, she refuses to go, leaving me with both young kids to travel 2 hours with. It's going to be at my aunt's house, no one is praying or performing any Easter rituals (maybe some egg shaped chocolates) etc.
I was quite annoyed, but thinking if it's similar with other religious people.
