I even went to an atheist "meeting" one time, it was interesting. Also, the Unitarian Universalists are fun, kind of a free for all. You can believe pretty much anything you want or even not believe at all....everyone is welcome...

Edit: I attended a "Unity" Church founded in the Kansas City area a couple of times, nice and seeming decent values people but the sect was founded by a married couple who claimed miracles so kind of suspect.

I have attended Buddhist meetings (not a religion but a philosophy, imo).

I consider my self an agnostic with no real proof of religious truths either way...there are lots of other outliers in Christianity and then of course other world faiths..."so it goes".
