Oh gods, this hits too close to home, at some point I joined the church choir to try to make peace with religion, but the closer I got to music the more it made me realize I wasn't a religious person, the music was just comforting, I'm glad to see more people share a similar feeling

As a former evangelical and child of a pastor - who truly believed with a full heart until she was 17 - I feel all of this so hard. The comfort in the music of the old life (as I like to call it), those doubts that all built up to eventually realizing I had no reason to actually believe, asking God to grant me peace and to speak to my heart and that peace and dialog never arriving...

Thank you for making this and sharing this. It means so much to me.
