Do you go to church regularly?

I believe Jesus is our loving God and creator and I believe he died in propitiation for my sin. I'm developing a relationship with him that's getting better. I care far more about that relationship and being genuine than I do about a set of "church rules" half of which I think are based on human tradition more than what the Bible says anyway.

I don’t. I grew up as a Baptist preacher’s daughter, I was born in 1951. My Dad was something of a renegade, not interested in politics inside or outside the church.

I do not recall a single time he used the word “gay,”
He did not veil racist sermons using the Bible.

He wanted us to love God and each other.

As I grew older, married, and had a child, I continued for quite a while attending church and participating as a Sunday School teacher and choir director. That’s when I learned that not all, not even most, churches, followed the teachings of the Bible, although the Bible never changed. When my father died, I could not attend church because I always cried at some point in the service. Favorite hymns, Bible passages, and merely the atmosphere of church were so painful I had to leave or be disruptive.

After nearly a decade, I tried again. I could handle my emotions but not what I saw and heard. Churches that would not tap into their savings account to help members or neighbors who were in dire straits. Churches that would not allow some people to share in communion because of church rules. Churches that focused more on the church than the God they worshipped. Churches that were not righteous, but self-righteous.

So, no. I do not attend church, but it’s not because I’m an atheist, but because churches want to stay right where they are and who they are and I don’t want to be there.

Yes, every week.

No, I'm agnostic. That's very different from being an atheist.

These days I usually watch it online. Our church broadcasts live on YouTube.

no, but i do worship god in my own way 🙏

Yes, as a Christian why wouldn't I? (Hebrews 10:24–25).

Church is a place of corporate worship and a place where you can encourage and be encouraged by others.

You put a wrong reason of "family tradition" in the yes part.

I was raised in a religious Jewish family and attended synagogue on Friday night and Saturday morning, plus Hebrew school Sunday morning and Tuesday afternoon. So I was there more days than I wasn't. I became an atheist at 14 and eventually stopped going.

Since then I have attended Christian, Muslim, and Native American ceremonies. I haven't attended any kind of religious services for around a decade. I find religion interesting as an academic subject, and have read the Bible, the Quran, the Tao Te Ching, and many commentaries and analysts, but have no interest in participating in any religious community or worship other than as an observer.
