| I mean, I know about Unitarians. My husband is a recovered catholic and we are both scientists. Not looking for god, or friends, just want to be part of something bigger. Anyone rec their church? |

+1. This is a ridiculous and borderline offensive question OP You go to church to worship God. If that’s not acceptable to you, I don’t know what to tell you. |

Lol. Obvs you don’t have a good rec. It’s ok to just not chime in. |

I think people join UU or Jewish humanist communities for the....communities. You don't even want like-minded friends or opportunities to volunteer in the community?
What do you plan to do at this place you join without God or friends? Maybe join a country club? |
A good rec? What op is looking for doesn’t exist- hopefully |
|
Not sure why you’re not into the Unitarian Universalists. That the obvious fit for you. And All Souls UU church in Columbia Heights is fantastic.

I’m just saying I’m not doing it to meet people. I have friends. Of course I want to volunteer and get involved in churchy things. Just in a way that doesn’t force me to pretend I believe I’m doing it for god. So recs for local UU? |
Ahh this is good. Ok thanks. I’ll check it out. |
|
Thank you! |

| Being a scientist does not automatically exclude the possibility of a belief in God. As a Christian myself, I would hope that in whatever church you attend, you might find God even if you’re not looking for him and do encourage you to attend a church. However, it seems like you just want to join a random organization. I’m surprised your not looking at organizations like Lions Club, Rotary, Kiwanis, etc., as I think they might offer you a sense of being involved in a bigger organization without any religious affiliation. |
| The best church for atheists is one that preaches the full counsel of the Lord our God. I'd recommend Capitol Hill Baptist Church. |
