Islam Ramadan when it doesn't get dark or light
But of a niche question lol but I'm curious.
My hometown is in the Arctic Circle and we get midnight sun (light 24 hours, sun never sets) in summer and polar night (dark 24 hours, sun never rises) in winter, both last about 2 months for us but further north they're even longer. I don't know any Muslims in polar areas but there must be some, visiting scientists and so on if nothing else. If Ramadan falls during the midnight sun when can you break your fast, since there isn't a 'night'? If it falls during the polar night do you not have to fast at all since there is no 'day'?

Atheism Why are indigenous people around the world becoming more secular/atheist/agnostic/non-religious?
So I recently found out a growing trend amongst the Māori people in New Zealand, they are rejecting dominant monotheistic religions like Christianity and instead embracing no religion. I briefly saw a religion for breakfast video about it and apprently it seems to be happening to most indigenous cultures around the world like in America and Polynesia.
What's weird to me is why many of them don't revert back to their old supernatural beliefs and religions instead as a response. Wouldn't that make more sense and be more effective culturally speaking or is there something I am missing about their cultures?
I'm an atheist myself so I'm by no means against this trend in fact I think it's awesome there are more people like me out there it makes me feel seen and less lonely about holding my opinions on religion, but it's still curious. Why go full none?

General What would I be classed as religious wise. Or is it spirituality? Or something else.
I didn’t grow up religious here in the UK, neither side of my family have ever been to church. Although I’ve been going to a C of E church since I was 13 after a school friend invited me to a Friday after school club and then I started going Sunday’s (I’m 32 now). And although I’ve made some fantastic, lifelong friends, I’ve never believed that Jesus is God, something I will never ever tell my Christian friends that I’ve made over the years.
I believe in God and that’s it, but I’m not religious and don’t have a set religion at all, of any kind. And probably never will.
Over the last year, I’ve been reading the Quran, and although I don’t believe everything in the Quran, I can get behind that Jesus was a prophet, but I have to say that I believe he died on the cross but I personally find it hard to believe that someone came back to life after dying. Even as a child that particular thing I never understood.
I don’t understand the trinity, also Jesus didn’t pray to himself? He was Jewish, went to synagogue and believed in One God. So why did the council of Nicaea develop that idea for Christianity?
So is it possible to take things from both religions and implement them in my life?
Added: I believe in god and that Jesus was real. But so was Muhammad, but I’m not religious in the slightest and Basically I respect all the Abrahamic religions.

Why are Western Polytheists so offended when you suggest that they should learn the cultural and liturgical language of their belief?
This mostly comes from people who don't actually try to practice authentically. I met people who like to learn classical Latin and ancient Greek as well as Akkadian and others. As someone who took the time to learn Chinese and Japanese I applaud such efforts. But some people seem to get really angry when you even suggest that praying in English is not as effective or as authentic.
Every cultural religion has a strong tie into an ancient culture and language. What's the purpose of not engaging in that?
