[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want to be friends with religious people? If so, go for it. On the other hand if you’re just going to roll your eyes (and believe me, you’ll want to) probably not a good idea. [/quote]

I want to be friends with them, but I guess I'm hoping that there will be a lot of other people who while maybe not agnostic, aren't really very religious and are just there for social reasons as well. [/quote]

I was once at a welcome for newcomers gathering at St Columba's Episcopal church where one person introduced themselves as an agnostic and the pastor said "Welcome."

Another Episcopal church -- St Marks on Capitol Hill  - has a lot ofl of open agnostics and atheists. The former pastor there was also openly agnostic.

They don't mind the christian rituals and are open about their non-belief.

If you don't want to go through the Christian motions, try a unitarian congregation or the Washington Ethical Society - which is a humanist group - no religion at all - lots of former christians, Jews and "nones" .[/quote]
