I'm simply pointing out that you may be under the influence of christian morality even though you reject christianity. This is not surprising, we grew in a western civilisation that was greatly influenced by christianity. In this case I believe you are being puritanical because you believe that certain pursuits are not worthy because they do not contribute to the material common good. This moral value is not exclusive to christianity, of course, but given that your name is "John Clark" I would bet that that is where it originates from, in your case.
It's not only not exclusive to Christianity it's not exclusive to religion. It has been part of every human (and probably hominid) tribe since the beginning of the species.
