I never was a very religious person, though I consider myself a Christian. This is because no two people have the same life experience, and I don't think everyone is searching for the same answer. So, I respect anyone's religious views(or lack thereof). I don't see why not. I have a friend who is a pastor and a friend who is a rabbi, and I have friends who aren't believers at all.

I do part-time work at a church, and I always get a good, positive feeling from both being there as well as the people who attend the services and my coworkers there. It's a bit of a "soul recharge", seeing the people come together for some of the extracurricular activities. I get something out of it even though it's a paid situation.
