I actually did that. I took this survey of my current beliefs about a year ago. I found that I would be most compatible with either the Unitarians or the Quakers.

I searched out a Unitarian church as the only Quakers were kind of far from where I live.

This was right before the election in 2006. One Sunday a man talked about a voting pamphlet from the pulpit that would be available on the table outside after the service. It was from the Women's League of Voters directing the members how to vote for the California Props.

I was appalled. After all the time I have spent here and reading about churches dictating to their congregations how they should spend their votes. I left after my third Sunday following that incident.

I prefer to have my politics and spirituality distanced from one another.

Not to say that all Unitarian congregations do that. But it was the first time I had stepped into a church since I was married years and years ago.
