A church going atheist. I go to church. Do I believe in the Man up in the sky? Not really. Do...

Nice post man. You sound like a reasonable person.. I hope one day you come to believe in God and believe Jesus and trust in The Way He made to have you saved forever and ever.. Hoping you get the Max Eternal Value out of your experiences with a church..

So, you go to a Protestant church for your social club.

If there's one thing church does well it's community.

I can get on board with that. I am an atheist too, but your local church can also be a community.

Rarely do you find the warmth like that in a church. The people there are full of the love of God. Paul says we should pray for this. You are experiencing it.

I'm a person of faith. However, I couldn't care less if the person next to me is not. It just doesn't bother me and can't imagine why it should. That goes for politics, music, films, you name it. Don't agree with me? OK, onward and upward.

I usually get something out of going to a service at church or a synagogue. Sure, we hear all the time about hypocritical religious people, but my experience runs counter to that--I usually meet pleasant people.

These people have understood why christianity is there. I admire your wish to show us the difference between Words and deeds.

There's something to the ritual, no matter what you believe/don't believe. I go to Buddhist Temple for the same feeling. Catholic Mass is also enjoyable.

Do you pretend like you're a believer when you go to church or worship? If you do you are in good company. Probably 90% of the people around don't believe it either. Or at least they have serious question it.

Well there are definitely worse places to spend a few hours a week.

Has anyone questioned your faith?

Have you thought about how you might handle it if the topic of faith comes up?

Just curious.

You didn't mention how long you've been doing this. It would be cool to have included that.
