Well said, fellow Canadian. A lot of what you wrote is identical to how I view things. I was raised non-religious as well. Im thinking of reading the bible, too. I went to a few churches on a Sunday. One of the churches had a women priest that had feel-good, emotional, "were all in this together" type vibe and didn't say anything of real value. In other words, churches are infected, too. But I liked the overall experience. We sang a couple hymns, there was a feeling of community, I tried to be self-reflective. I recommend it.
