The next 4 years will be rough for non-believers. In LA County there are a few UU locations, but two other groups I highly recommend is Atheists United and Sunday Assembly LA. They each have a bit of a different vibe which could be good for those who have religious trauma in their personal history. One of these groups may fit your vibe better than the others. I would encourage folks try all three to see. - I Went to Church...and Liked it! - https://youtu.be/ZmSiYQ_VmKM?si=I9A1W84mWalgarGP #atheist #atheism #NonreligiousNews #GoodWithoutGod #agnosticism #Secular #SecularHumanism #Humanism #AgnosticAtheist #NonBelievers #UnitarianUniversalism #UU #KristiBurke

Issues with Agnostic Atheism

Did I ever mention that in a galaxy far away I was a full-time #Christian worker? Most of my employment was in #evangelical and #pentecostal welfare and parachurch ministries. But I also held a couple of pastoral positions. This was last position before #deconversion , I held a dual role running the church office during the week and was the creative director overseeing the Sunday services. I also made us one of the first churches in our denomination to get into #socialmedia.

Now I'm a queer, trans,
#agnosticatheist who couldn't give a shit about that stuff. 🤷‍♀️💅🏳️‍⚧️
One of my ex-pastor friends just asked a question in a mutual group we're members of.

"What do you do with Easter? I wish my Christian friends a Happy Easter and leave it at that. It's their journey, it's their story and has great meaning for them."

I have the same approach. Just as on Wednesday night I wished my Jewish friends Chag Pesach Sameach.

I now giggle as I mention that I have usually slept in for the past decade. That was not the case for the decades prior. My mum was the church organist, I was in a church band from my teens, so being an early bird at church on these kind of days was the norm from my earliest days.

When I joined Hills CLC (now Hillsong Church) I became part of the Venue Operations team and was one of the early birds getting there hours earlier to set up for the first service at 8am. A couple of years later I oversaw the venue bump-in/out of Hillsong Church Ryde (which eventually became Hillsong Macquarie) and assisted the pastor during services. I was literally the first person to walk in the door each service and the last one to leave.

After leaving Hillsong I somehow ended up back among the Sydney Anglicans and soon ended up joining the staff at West Ryde, where I eventually ended up with a dual role in church administration & leading the creative teams. So Christmas and Easter were always big times of the year.

It's 10am and I'm writing this cuddled in bed with one of my cats on a cold, wet Good Friday. Another successful start to Easter as a deconverted former church leader.

My preferred pronouns are he/him/his. I am politically and socially liberal, but I believe democracies require diverse opinions and constructive tension. However, civil rights demanded by #Feminism, #BLM, #LGBTQIA+ rights, and #IndigenousRights are not negotiable. I am an #AgnosticAtheist in the classical sense.

#introduction I suppose this has become the done thing now.
So, I'm an older British bloke who actually remembers a time before the internet and world wide web. As well as #FilmPhotography, predominantly black and white, and #TTRPG stuff I also enjoy #Music, of numerous genres, #ScienceFiction films, TV and books. Particularly #DrWho and #StrangerThings. Also, I'm #DemocraticSocialist and #AgnosticAtheist. Btw, I run Arch.
