Dear Abby-July 26, 2010 Print
DEAR ABBY: I recently had a child and would like to join a church for the community, moral messages and the music. I grew up going to one and got a lot out of it.

However, exploration throughout my 20s made me realize that I didn't believe what was being taught. Would it be dishonest to start attending again?

DEAR NEW MOM: Many people consider themselves to be more "spiritual" than "religious." And I'm willing to bet that in many congregations there is a range in the intensity of belief among the attendees.

I encourage you to select a denomination with which you feel comfortable. Some -- like the Unitarian Universalist faith (www.uua.org) -- have no dogma and support their members in following their own spiritual paths.
