I’m starting to think that a lot of #atheist #leftist misunderstand #religion. I went to church today. It wasn’t amazing but I did enjoy it. I think that religion, especially in the west, largely isnt about faith anymore. I enjoyed going to church because I saw people I knew, I saw people I didn’t. There was music.
It was a reason to gather.

I had the same upbringing in the Catholic church. Went to a couple services last year at a progressive christian church that’s queer-welcoming & non-denominational. I’m not all of a sudden a christian again, but it was actually really healing. Rather than focusing on how you’re going to (fucking) hell, it focused on the “love thy neighbour” aspects. I dunno, take what I’m saying with a grain of salt but it was nice to see religion being used as a positive force for good.
