In reply to the discussion: What do you miss about religion? [View all]wcmagumba
(3,209 posts)28. I grew up...
attending a small baptist church and don't really miss any of it. I do like
church architecture (old type stone buildings especially) and the stained glass windows.
I sang in some college choirs which did some classical religious music and liked
that sort of thing (as someone mentioned, the Messiah and others), large church
organ music also. Lately, I visit some music performances at the local UU church, mostly
non religious and very good. There is a fairly new atheist group here called Oasis which
I am thinking of dropping by sometime to check it out, apparently they have
other locations around the country but I don't know much about them.

I miss sitting in the pews watching the pretty blonde girl in the choir sing.
