It was the way he said that Our Lord has to be my god now.
I think he doesn't understand it. I mean, it was the sort of comment that could only be made be someone who doesn't practice a religion with any sort of regularity. I mean, I know you're not really religious but you still give Christmas presents and you still get an Easter basket every year, but do you really think about it beyond that? No.
And for us, it's more a remembrance, or a way of being ethical, and honouring our ancestors and our heritage, and things like that. It's not as if we're one of those sects that sacrifices animals or anything.
So there's no conflict between Krishna or Rama or Sarasvati and Our Lord. It's hard to explain that to Marvolo, though, without sounding disrespectful.
(Also, it's really none of his business but you just can't come out and say that, can you? Honestly it was easier when he didn't want much to do with us. This having to kiss his arse is somewhat tedious. Is this how Draco felt all the time?)
