I do not believe in god and tend to follow Buddhism more but at this time I am in a Methodist choir every other week and go to the Catholic church the other weeks.

My friends from long time ago roped me into singing in the choir. I go to the Catholic church to support my friend for something that is one of the most important things to him because no one supports him in anything.

He does not preach to me and knows I will never be a Christian but is happy that someone feels he is important enough to be respected and supported. One of the other reasons that I am in church was to encourage him to get back into choir because he has an absolutely gorgeous voice that need not be wasted.

The Methodists know I am not a Christian and do not care and include me in with anything I want to do.

The Catholics just do not talk to me much.
