There is big money in religion, never lose sight of that. Some churches are just there for the money.

Re: I've made the decision to find religion....Now What??
You are clearly referring to Christianity, but I would suggest reading the holy texts of 5 major faiths.
It definitely helps narrow your thoughts and gain perspective. The reason I suggest this is not to suggest what faith to follow, but to reflect and gain knowledge independently. I think that always means more than just going to Church just to go there.

SS84., it's not necessary to begin building bombs and move to Idaho...OR passing out literature in the airport.
If you are concerned about it, stick to the mainstream flavors for the moment. Find a nice Methodist (good sized as they have more options) church, and after the service, either fill out one of the cards and request a contact or speak to the pastor after the service and tell him your new and would like to get in a: Young peoples group, bible study group, etc. You probably want a church that does a lot of social stuff. They will be more than happy to help. You will know pretty quick if it feels right or not. If not.....check out another. I personally prefer a pastor who DOES NOT want to interpret the bible to much....... I volunteer at a local kitchen one day a week that is a chuch project, though not mine. They just feed the hungry.....no strings attached. It.....just makes me feel good GOOD LUCK

Philosophy, not religion is what you need. Religion is for sheep.
Bring on the pitchforks! lol
