Despite looking like religious, and having the stamp of religion, it is actually non-religion.
The key point is gender roles which religion acts as a structure which supports the "stability" of the roles.

Same as rural Spain in the 40/50's.

My grand grand ma used cover and soemtimes face-covers even in cities when she was no longer at all religious.. it was a role marker...Not to say that the church in the town would have not protested/commented... but nothing like the non-church social control to enforce the rules

A pleasure

I therefore claim to show, not how men think in myths, but how myths operate in men's minds without their being aware of the fact. Levi-Strauss, Claude
