Christian, it's that phrase there: "we're all Protestants," that makes it not something that requires explanation, something that just "is".
I think we're saying the same thing: religion is a cultural phenomenon. The more the people around you don't share the details of that culture, the more they're thrown into relief with each other, and the more the members of those cultures will define themselves through action (including statements of belief. I don't have any idea if people truly believe the crazy things they stand up and say they believe.)
