I’ve looked into this and would love to go to a church or congregation or whatever it would be called. I feel like I’m missing something and would love to find a community of like minded people because where I live I’m kind of an outcast for being a liberal, non Christian person. The problem is that I will need to travel about an hour to find a congregation(?) and that’s fine, but I need to get over the idea that it feels like I’m joining a cult?? I believe that the right cult can suck anyone in, and while Christianity has never had potential to be my cult I have a worry in the back of my mind that if this is a cult it is one that could??

I’m not sure if this makes any sense, but I just want to discuss this with someone because I really need a community and don’t want to join something out of desperation that could be culty. I’m also not trying to say anyone here is culty, because I don’t think that but I also believe that for the right cult I WOULDNT think it sounds like one??

Edit: in the cesspool the internet has become, I expected at least one reply that was upset about my questions but I love the fact that it seems like people understand my concerns! I don’t think I would expect that of a cult and I will definitely be checking out some online services next time :) thanks for the wonderful answers, I’m really hopeful that I have found my people!🩷
