Man, as someone who is not religious at all, some of these rituals are sooo weird to me.

Like making someone a saint not that long after their death. The concept of a saint itself is also weird to me. Its like an honorary degree from a university or an "employee of the month" badge.

I cant put my finger on it, to be honest. Just seems so weird

They're just jealous of polytheists so they have to invent a bunch of other little mini-gods

St. Matthew: Patron saint of accountants.

Okay, that's a bit sad.

I thought you were joking but it's real

I agree on the polytheism thing. But it's also about role models.
