I come from a Methodist Family.  Immediately after my confirmation to the Church I (when I was about 12) I no longer attended church.

I saw religious activities more as social gatherings, I never really understood or could relate to religious teachings.  Older kids didn’t go to church, it seemed to be more for the old and the very young.

As I grew older and wiser, I came to understand more the impact of religious teachings on society.  It was then that I sought out alternatives.

Secular Humanism may or may not be what I seek.  But it has many of the ingredients I am looking for.

I find it difficult to relate to large groups because I feel it is difficult to align ourselves one-on-one much less in large groups on all the issues that touch us as individuals.
