Sure, I have faith, but my Faith starts with a capital "F" and is the best thing since sliced bread and salad forks.

That is a possible problem with focusing on ritual, that we can forget about our relationship, and forget that God is omniscient.
We have to have a relationship with God, and that is the purpose of religion. To try to have a relationship without religion, or religion without a realtionship really doesn't make sense to me
Chrsitainity is anything but a fad. Jesus told us that it would be so, that He came not to bring peace, but a sword. (if you give me a minute, I could find that verse

)
