However, there's the big difference between church and religion. Religion is often about rules, rituals, and institutions. It can feel rigid or even burdensome, and many people associate it with judgment or obligation.
Church is about community, fellowship, encouragement, and growth in faith. It’s a place where believers support one another, learn, and experience God together.
Salvation is not earned through religious rituals or attendance—it comes through faith and relationship, not a checklist of religious activity. Church is more about spiritual support and growth, than earning approval or status.
I'm glad you enjoyed going to church with your girlfriend. That's really special and I hope it will continue to bless you.

I think I’d always believed and had faith from a young age, but we weren’t a church going house (my parents didn’t really talk about it either positively or negatively.) Going to church has really solidified what was there all along. @PatientlyWaiting25
