Three in 10 U.S. adults attend religious services regularly, led by Mormons at 67%

As Americans observe Ramadan and prepare to celebrate Easter and Passover, the percentage of adults who report regularly attending religious services remains low. Three in 10 Americans say they attend religious services every week (21%) or almost every week (9%), while 11% report attending about once a month and 56% seldom (25%) or never (31%) attend.

Among major U.S. religious groups, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also widely known as the Mormon Church, are the most observant, with two-thirds attending church weekly or nearly weekly. Protestants (including nondenominational Christians) rank second, with 44% attending services regularly, followed by Muslims (38%) and Catholics (33%).

Majorities of Jewish, Orthodox, Buddhist and Hindu Americans say they seldom or never attend religious services.

Find some volunteering group, you'll get tradition, community and being part of something bigger, prolly not the music though. Where I am we are big into Emergency services, they are mostly run by volunteers but really you can find whatever works for you from animal shelters to helping people with personal finance if that's your niche. , No need to waste time idolatring an imaginary friend that doesn't reciprocate, you can do some actual good and feel good!

The Christian religion has been hijacked by white supremacists

Nazi trash needs to go overdose in the gas station bathroom. We literally had a World War about this, White Supremacy is reserved for white trailer park trash.

Can't say I disagree with your proposed treatment of Nazis. That said I wonder if you mistakenly replied to me instead of someone else? My point is that joining a cult for sense of belonging is not necessary, there are other ways to fulfill that need.

Before the Nazis Christianity was hijacked by the Spanish inquisition, and after the Nazis by pedo rings. I don't see other organised religions performing much better either.

This can’t be upvoted enough.
