I'm tolerant of other people's beliefs (although I may have a tendency to ask too many questions) and I think there's a lot to be gained from a church as a community. Even though I don't believe in supernatural things I still feel a sense of "spirituality" as reverence and awe of nature and science. Do you think I will be disappointed?

To answer the question in the OP, no I do not miss church at all. I will say I used to attend a UU church when I was a newbie atheist, and it served its purpose for it's time, but listening to any superstition, as nice as the people were of all religions that attended, I got tired of it because it was nonsense, not worth the socializing.
