| I’m no longer religious, but I was Mormon and the answer is that it depends. Almost all religious activities happen at regular chapels and everybody is welcome there. A few religious ceremonies take place in temples (those more ostentatious buildings) and atheists are not allowed there; in fact many believing and active members are not allowed there. |

| Yes! All are welcome and we have time after every service to ask any questions about what we believe. Evangelical Christian. |

| Episcopalian and definitely. We've almost certainly got atheists as regular parishioners. |

I'm pretty sure that most regular attendees are atheists.

+1. Episcopalianism seems to draw a lot of people who like the ritual, music, and contemplative aspects of worship, and openly tolerates questions and doubts. I've heard sermons where Episcopal priests have talked openly about wanting to help parishioners question/examine their faith. |

Yes, the Episcopal church is a good place for atheists who can tolerate, or even like, going through the ritual of the mass every week. You'll have plenty of company, maybe including the priests. |
