I have been thinking about joining a church for some time. I’m an atheist, so this seems like a strange thing. However, I do believe it is important to get involved in some community activity, which is something I have not really done since living in Chicago outside of my school communities.
The Unitarian denomination is compatible with my beliefs, and there is one church close to where I live. Unitarianism began in Eastern Europe about 500 years ago with the mission of pursuing the Truth and living a life in accordance with that pursuit. However, there is no central doctrine about what that Truth is. Notably, Unitarians often emphasize the humanity of Jesus. In other words, that Jesus should not be seen as a God, but as an excellent human being. Obviously, the Bible is not read literally but as the work of various human beings from different times and places writing to their contemporaries.
My biggest challenge will merely be getting to bed early enough on Saturday night to be awake and ready Sunday mornings.
