I am not religious and have no desire to start being now but sometimes I just want the community people get with church. I am craving connection with the community and feel it’s very healthy for families and neighbors as well. The United States is seriously lacking in third spaces and communities. It’s leading to a serious loneliness epidemic… Just wondering if there is anything that can fill that need for non-religious folks?

    I go to a music school where I practice with a band for 90 minutes every Sunday.

    I also host “sauna sundays” at my house during the colder months.

    My partner for awhile played mahjong with a group every weekend at the local furry coffee shop and taproom.

    There are so many ways to church without church, and arguably they’re a hell of a lot better than religious indoctrination and reinforcement. Nobody needs that shit to love their neighbor.
