As a church enjoyer, I feel very othered right now. Can we go back to the vibe of OP's indiscriminate joy and excitement?

As someone who sees religion as a scourge on society and the unfettered, tax-free existence of churches as little more than a symptom, I wasn't crazy about the possible implication that church attendance was required in order for one to be considered prosocial.

I do if its a badly-behaving church that is doing that crap, otherwise they can really be a positive fixture of the community if its done right
