DrmDoc:
Your comments, which I have bolded in blue, give the impression that "non-believers" aka atheists do not have faith and therefore are not religious. The reality is that atheist have far more faith than theists. A further reality is that atheists are as religious as theists.
As for your comments, which I bolded in red, where you explain that, to quote you: "faith is a shield believers use against life's doubts, insecurities, and traumas," that's interesting. Particularly since atheists routinely use their faith as a means of coping with life's doubts, insecurities, and traumas.
