Ah ok, I was misunderstanding where you were coming from there, I thought you were having problems writing rituals in general.
Well, first you have to define all the reasons the group have for believing in that manner and then you have to build a reason for them keeping it that way. For instance, the lines in Leviticus about "no vegetable gardens and no crop rotation" don't get used very often these days, as opposed to others. Why?
Because of how the in-group sees themselves, the overarching idea of who they are. It's less about the belief in deity, and more about how they see themselves.
