Is anyone else religious but hates the idea of church

Yup! I'm not sure I'm religious. Spiritual, but not a spiritualist. I do not like organized religion and the guilt and shame used to manipulate and hurt people. I feel it's an open excuse to be judgemental and it reeks of my pooo don't stank kinda vibe. I'm guessing not all churches are like that, but I battle it. I see through the bs of people so it makes it hard to be around a lot of people

I have tried to go to church years ago I was really struggling and needed something I thought church might help me but because of my tourette's I was asked to leave. So I've never been back

🙋 I'm not crazy religious but I like so many of the stories and the concept of God being there. Congregational Churches are the best I've been to...pretty easy going.

I'm not religious but I do believe in God
I'm struggling with organized religion
I like the idea of community but it is also depends on who is part of that

I don’t hate church, but every time I went I got too emotional to sit beside strangers.

And since then, I have become enraged by the snake oil salesmen (and women), who have turned a lot of churches into a den of thieves.

None of this has to do with my faith. I just dissociated from religion as a profitable franchise.

I'm not religious, but if I were, I'd certainly stay away from the ones that focus more on politics than faith, and the practice of faith.

its one of those things, you enjoy it when youre there.

I'm no Religious nor go to Church. Jesus Christ is all I need

You are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Me cause some so called church people don't even believe in god anymore

Then they aren’t religious.

church is more of a distraction

Me

No, the idea of God is ridiculous. It’s just Santa Claus for adults. Or just a father figure because you never grow up.
