I grew up in a church and this is basically the only thing I miss.

In fact it just makes me angry when I think back -- here we have a warm community in which that friendship and companionship are available only on the condition that you alter your cognition and beliefs to conform to a very precise code.

Some serious strings-attached.

You can get the same experience in a lot of collegiate environments.

For example literally being in a college, being in a mess in the military, being in a sports team.
