I don't think people who are you average Joe go to church

The kids who I grew up with and were cool to be with were not in church on a Sunday

They were listening to metal , fishing and playing football

The only reason why the church has changed is because society has demanded that it did

It's still outdated though with little relevance to 2021

I know people who give to the local food bank who are church goers and all goody goody and others who wouldn't be seen dead anywhere near a church yet give loads of money to save the children , the homeless etc

Religion doesn't have a monopoly on child abuse but it also doesn't have a monopoly on good deeds either

You can be a member of a train spotting club and do loads for charity

I can't stand that saying to be good is to be a Christian
