My best church experience? My parents volunteered us to usher for the services, basically handing out the program pamphlets and ushering people to seats. (It was a mega-church in Orlando) When the service started, me and my little brother would "volunteer" to man the doors and make sure people don't interrupt the sermon, but we'd go out to the basketball courts and play basketball in our Sunday best. My parents would wonder why we got all sweaty. (It was FL, even in the dead of winter it's 85 and 100% humidity)
The worst? All those weird culty youth group meetings at school and at church that I was forced into. It wasn't even a super fundie church, but I feel like it was a meeting of 90% homeschooled kids and the rest are the preacher's kid type children. Weird. Even the FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) meetings my mom made me go to in middle school were just awkward. It was like a pizza party where you had to memorize bible verses to get food.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
