[quote=Anonymous]Have you seen the news about the French Catholic Church today? Might be part of it... For me personally, I grew up a Christmas & Easter churchgoer (Episcopalian) in a very fire-and-brimstone Baptist area, and the whole social structure and attitude turned me off. I am also one of those people who learned about the Holocaust, child abuse, etc. and lost my faith. That said I respect others' faiths and am not anti-religion or anything. It does comfort people in tough times, and there is a sense of cohesive community and purpose that I think we in the US are losing in the absence of church as a community pillar (discussed in the book "Bowling Alone"). And I have donated to Catholic organizations that were doing good things in the community (baby pantries, etc. not the Church itself).[/quote]
