Dunno, I like the idea of meeting up with my neighbours in my local community once a week, singing in harmony with them, and then arranging small community projects to better the area
(I’m obviously skipping over the judgement of others, the financing, the general right-wing narratives that are peddled, the power structures and the abuse that comes with it)
I’m not religious, so the closest thing I have is volunteering at my local park once a week and working alongside a few of my locals, and though it’s nice and we’re definitely doing a universal good for the area… I just wish there were more people to actually make it feel like a proper community
I was speaking with a colleague in the US, and he mentioned that he was brought up Mormon (and thankfully escaped), but he missed the community aspect of it and so he joined a Unitarian church, which as far as I understand it brings all the community benefits of church groups but basically ignores any bible preaching. It sounds nice.
You can, I guess. Culture is shaped by beliefs significantly tho. Dumb beliefs often result in dumb culture.
