A further question. Robert Sapolsky in his book Determined mentions studies showing benefits of religion that seem to be grounded in the communal aspect of religious practices, especially in organised religion. I have considered whether I want to investigate attending a local humanist meeting or something to get some more community. My hobbies are niche and not something that there will be a local club or something for, so it seems an option, but frankly I am in danger of being a loner with a lot of books, and that isn't always fun. That said, I am worried it will be jumping from one group (Christianity) and into another (humanism). Does anyone have any experience of such a move to a humanist group after leaving religion and any wisdom on the benefits/drawbacks?
