Is there anyone here who is disillusioned or has left the Christian church

I've been a christian a long long time. Born into the Catholic church, but became a Pentecostal in my 20s. Here's the thing. My daughter and husband both have disabilities. In several churches, we were ignored due to those disabilities. I also cannot believe that God would ever hate or ban same-sex marriage, homosexuality & those who do not hold conservative values. I also don't believe that Jesus was the only messenger. There are far too many similarities between the major religions that can show that, in essence, they are similar.

I left that system of belief, but don't know where to turn. I've been getting more involved in Buddism, but have nowhere close to sit zazen or talk with a teacher. I'm searching for someone I guess who can help.

i grew up with religious parents and as i grew up i started to see how toxic the religion was as well as what the church does and i couldn't be a part of it any more. leaving the religion also meant cutting off ties with my mom but i was lucky. i had my close friend now BF of 10 years. to support me and help me through it all.

i'd suggest turning to the love and compassion of others who love you in return. do what you believe is right and decide your morals for yourself instead of looking for some belief system to give them to you. you don't need a religion to be a fulfilled, kind and compassionate person
