I grew up in a Unitarian church. In my experience, the church represents a lot of the things you write about here. It's a welcoming place that respects and welcomes people from ALL walks of life and faith. I learned a lot, and I'm grateful I can share my knowledge about religions.

When I got married I changed my faith base, but my upbringing is embedded in me, and for that I'm great-full.

Thanks for writing this thoughtful piece, Saad!
