Like a solar elipse except nothing like one but instead more
like a religious time of fasting between dawn and sunset.

not that i'm a muslim/anything else but i observed it once
for a matter of respect, while being in Cairo. it was winter
'88, my father didn't reach the middle class yet so it was
fun, every night some friend was coming with something to
eat. we used to eat on the rough roof of his old house in
Shobra, like the ones you always see in that part of the
globe. i remember i loved mashed favas with lemon, and there
still were the milky way in the sky of the city, too.

aren't you suppose to observe it for over a month, while
fasting in the process... i mean if you're going to do
something you might as well do it right.

Why would God give a shit if you eat a little bit less one
day than a another?

Would it be controversial to assert that religious people
are mentally ill?

Nah, it would be rather platitudinous to assert that.
Besides that, why the hell would you observe a religious
fast if you're not following the religion? Now that sounds
mentally ill.

their religious beliefs

Well over here people who observe Ramadan continue to work
as normal, they don't get extra days off for it or anything,
if that's what you're implying
