Money, medicine, “tolerance”, “racism”, politically incorrect language, natural selection, “the self,” public figures (CEOs, scientists, figureheads), celebrities, recycling, wearing masks, the super bowl, the oscars, the multiverse, the big bang, psychotherapy, anti-depressants, over-eating & dieting, conspicuous traveling, visiting nature, architecture.

You can throw those into the religious categories e.g. virtue, vice, deities, origin story etc.

I should also mention “original sin” – you can guess examples of those – in america that would be “racism”.

I’m not taking good / bad position just applying religious lens to secular lifestyle.

These things typically fall under the umbrella of “culture,” of which religion is one defining aspect, to greater or lesser extents.
