The main problem with Religions and churches is that to some degree you sort of have to be somewhat of a liar to go to any of them. This is what I mean. And for all you churchgoers out there I mean this only in the best of spirits and support you in what you are trying to do.
But, as an intuitive here is the problem I have with going to church generally. The problem is that never do I 100% agree with what is being said in any church. There are always things going on that I can't entirely support and feel good about it. So, this means that I often feel like I'm being a liar by acting like I 100% support what is happening. Then on top of that there are always "Church Ladies" and "Church Men" trying to make sure that you are actually supernaturally going along with 100% of what is being said in church as if it was the gospel. Whereas what is going on in every church on earth cannot be the gospel because you can go to 100 different Churches of different denominations (even if they are all Christian) and they are all going to be different than each other. So this whole thing quickly becomes ridiculous to me.
However, if I could go into a church and walk up to the minister and say after listening to his sermon. "Hi. I only believe about 40 to 70% of what you are talking about. Have a nice day!" Then maybe I could go to church more and feel good about it. Because it wouldn't matter the church this is the experience I would have.
Also, having studied comparative religion I also know that it doesn't really matter whether someone is Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or whatever their religion is I likely would be in the same situation where I might say to them, "I believe in about 40% to 70% of what you are saying, God Bless you! or Buddha Bless you! or whatever would be appropriate.
So, as an intuitive I have this problem of not wanting to be impolite but if I didn't say anything I would feel a little like a liar by sitting there listening to things I didn't agree with about half the time. So, because I don't want to be a liar I talk to God alone or when there is a dinner and I do the blessing of the food or my wife does or someone else does and we ask that everyone on earth has a meal equally as good or better by God's Grace as the one we are eating.
