I was interested in go to church tomorrow for the first time in over a decade - mostly due to a recent breakup, and fuck it, why not? Unfortunately all the churches near me are either mega church subchains, or would likely be spewing hatred due to the other lovely holiday happening tomorrow.

While I expected the latter, I’m disappointed by the former. I’m curious to hear anybody’s experiences finding or having faith while having a distaste for capitalism.

    Best bet is probably a Methodist church, they tend to be very queer friendly and generally left libs. They're easy to find. Community of Christ has a similar vibe but is much less widespread. If there's a Unitarian Universalist congregation they are usually extremely cool but only vaguely Christian connected and not that common. On the extremely off chance you have a left splinter Catholic church with a female priest nearby, probably nothing will be cooler than that. But I think there's like three of those.

      united methodists, yes, but not so much free methodists

      Any United Church of Christ church is going to be rather good; they're far and away the most progressive out of all the "mainline" Trinitarian churches. Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian, and Episcopal churches should be okay too, though it might depend on where you are.
