It's a weird situation for me. I think I believe in God (or some kind of Higher Power), but I don't care much for organized religion. I don't like how each religion thinks they are right and all other religions are wrong. I grew up Catholic, but that's because I was born into a Catholic family. If I had been born into another religion, that's the one I would be. Would God send me to Hell for being born a Muslim? If He would, then that is not the kind of God I want to believe in.

But I started socializing with people in a nearby Catholic church. They have an active young adults group, and these people have pretty much become my entire social circle. Still, I feel like a hypocrite, because I honestly don't believe most of what they believe. And politically I am a liberal while most of them are conservative. So I feel like there are things I can't talk about with them. Still, without them I would have no social life. So I am not sure what to do.

Also, although I am pretty active with the social activities at church, I usually don't go to mass.
