I do not miss the religious life. I never had a religious life although I grew up in a religious home.

That's like asking a woman if she misses her abusive husband. Totally don't miss having to lie about how god is blessing me, nor do I miss constantly being told I am worth nothing and only god gives me value.

No way!
And I don't miss the judgemental attitudes over what is just in people's heads.

I don't miss it but I often wonder how things went from my parents who were very devout Catholics to me not believing at all in one generation.

In the same way I miss having a sore throat....

I miss singing in the choir (not that I was particularly good at it). I like good quality Anglican church music (none of your Hillsong rubbish!) Prayers and sermons have always bored me to death.

I miss the sex. Friday confessional with father O'Flarety. Sweet memories. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Hope no one is offended.

If so I can here your confession Friday. Or my confession whatever. My grandparents were Church of God, what do I know about confession ?

The same one I tried to follow before: treat others with respect and compassion. It's really too much to figure out if I should treat them the way they want to be treated, the way I want them to treat me, or they way I think I would want to be treated if I were in their situation. Respect and compassion seem to cover the bases.

I really have nothing to miss. Religion ceased being important here a long time ago. Naturally, i seldom ever went in a church and most people here do not either.

Nope.

I was never religious; I grew up in a non-religious household, but had brief periods of time occassionally attending church/church camp growing up so I could be with school friends (such as Sunday morning after sleepovers). I was not down for the religious aspects of it, ever, but I was, and still am, kind of envious of the built-in community aspect. It seems much easier to find an established community based on religion than any other shared interest/activity.

Not at all. I was forced into youth group, and I always fell asleep during service. You think I wanted to get up on Sunday to go to mass, when I could have slept in?

no ,because saw thurth

No. The sense of community with likeminded individuals would be the only thing; however, like @TMCBird said-- It's also why I joined this group.

It's a nice feeling to have a sense of community with like-people but even among the like-people there was so much contention and animosity that it was usually quite uncomfortable. I used to miss a good social life but found that even if I socialize with different groups in my community it always comes around to Christian or religious discussions so now I'm happy to live alone and have my doggie companions.

I sometimes remember the 'Brainwash-Buzz/Aura-type' of sensations from those days of unwarranted-belief, but I wouldn't want to go back to that crap at all-!

Nope...

I miss the uninhibited sex breaks.

not even a little bit. religion was like a shackle around my neck and I will never put it back on

No. I do miss hanging out with the priests. Episcopal priests are quite philosophical and tend to be very careful in interpreting the bible. As one said to me, "That God of the Old Testament was one mean son of a bitch."

Somewhat. Religion is a corner stone of society because it gives so much comfort and peace of mind.... even if that never reflects reality. What can be more comforting than believing that you have a space father watching out for you, that he will cart you off to a magic happy land after you die, and that all the answers to every question worth asking are in one book you can get for free, in a pocket sized edition? Just believing that someone is in charge of the chaos is a mightily comforting thought.

I don't miss religion per say but the fact that organization tends to bring about certain benefits for its members, the people unite their efforts for some common purpose many will likely benefit from the pulled resources and social companionship

Nope. I have never been religious or believed in a god, so nothing to miss.

Never had one.

No.
