6. Yeah, that is exactly it... it felt too spiritual.

Even though I found it moving to see all people accepted there, I just couldn't relate to the spiritual part of it.

I think part of it is also that I am looking for something to replace the political club I used to participate in... I just got so tired of the negativity that seems to be so inherent in politics now. So I was remembering to back when I was involved in church activities. I enjoyed it and met a lot of good people. But now going there when I don't feel spiritual feels fake on my part.

If it were a larger church, I think I could get away with participating in their social ministries with no one noticing I wasn't attending, but this is a small, close knit group.
