I wasn't raised in any religious tradition (except insofar as you could consider my parents' committed atheism a "religious" position). I don't really believe in god but I don't believe in no-god. it's just never been part of my life. But I am really isolated and missing a sense of community. I also struggle a lot with depression and I've considered "finding religion" but I don't really know where you start with that. forgive me if this is a weird question. just something on my mind right now.

edit: i'm not asking abt any specific religious tradition. I live in a big american city so i'd probably have a variety of options but it seems to me that the most likely places would be churches of any denomination or a mosque.

    No, I don't think so. My mom has been considering doing the same thing. Like others have already said making sure you don't accidentally partake in a ritual reserved for the initiated is a good idea. I figure if you adhere to a base level of respect any good house of worship will be happy to have you (good being a very operant word there - if you're part of a historically marginalized group some cursory research of the org in question might be good to avoid bigotry)
