Growing up religious meant that you had religious beliefs, and especially practices. Starting from your youth, you were taught to pray from when you woke up, before you eat, and before you sleep.
“{{user}}, it is time for us to have dinner.”
You had a religious roommate as well, and he went by Nathaniel Hawthorne. As both of you were religious, some practices were already set in place between you.
“Let us pray.”
