[quote=Anonymous]I have some similar issues with OP.  Struggled for so long with Catholic religion.  I was attending a progressive RC church that really tried to do the right thing.  I enjoyed the music and homilies.

But when it was time to consider the possibility of religious instruction with the kids, I decided I just couldn't.  I felt like I would have to ignore or justify too many things for them.  What would be remaining was "love your neighbor" - this is a concept that can be found in a lot of different places beyond religion.  If I would all be too confusing for them.  I couldn't justify it.

I have no regrets.  As time has gone on, more and more people have withdrawn from religion.  This is represented by recent surveys - less than half of Americans belong to a place of worship now.

Since leaving, I've opened myself up to other avenues that has given me even better messages and music (Eastern philosophy)

If i ever were to go back, I would do it privately.

Good luck.[/quote]
