I turned my back on religion for 50 years, but when I realized my beliefs pretty much lined up with Quaker values, I knew that's what I was.

Most churches have doctrines made up by humans and based on their human frailties and biases. Very little of God in them.

But we all have a little bit of the light of God in us and should pay closer attention to that still, small voice.
