Oops, miscommunication! I'm not searching any more. I'm just keeping an open mind in case something happens to make the existence of God a more natural assumption. My searching didn't find any religions that didn't set off a Human-Invented Baloney warning. Of course that doesn't mean I claim there isn't a God. I just want to leave the subject, same as I left What Is Reality, and get on with my life. Hmm, isn't that how Candide ended?
It's a little harder here, in the Southern US, which is very religious. People will ask you what church you go to. I used to say I hadn't found the right one yet, but now, in order to be honest, I'll have to say that I don't go to church. That might be a good thing-- "Agnostic Awareness."
Have you seen the latest Pew Research figures on religion in the US? There are still few people who declare themselves to be atheist or agnostic, but a lot who say they're "nothing in particular." The atheists, agnostics, and nothing-in-particular people are up to 29% in the latest figures I found. So maybe saying you don't go to church is no longer such a problem socially. Everybody probably knows one, maybe even here.
