Absolutely, I was raised Lutheran and volunteered a lot with my youth group, we did massive repairs and overhauls to peopleās houses. They felt great. Iām now an atheist, but that doesnāt mean I hate religion, itās just that the Abrahamic religions suck and are full of hate at its core. The problem happens when people take the scripture to heart and then twist it into what they want. Thatās whatās evil.
I am āwithā the church since I got the same religion my parents got when I was born. I havenāt left the church and I still pay the church tax, but thatās it. Iām not religious myself.
