For some reason this makes me think of Doreen Virtue and how before she became a nutjob "born-again" Christian I used to love watching her videos where she'd read a verse from the Bible, give her unique interpretation of it, and pull a card from one of her decks and talked about the meaning of it. These videos were about twenty minutes or so and I used to call them "going to church."

The beginning of this chapter had me thinking of how I still feel wistful and peaceful when I hear the bells of a church tolling in the evening (possibly the big cathedral downtown) and how even after I left Christianity I would still sometimes wander into the cathedral and just sit there quietly after lighting a candle.

If only I'd come across this book decades ago when I was leaving Christianity, maybe it wouldn't have been so traumatic. It could have been a softer landing while I considered what I *did* actually believe as far as possible religions or spiritualities were concerned.
