Can you simply keep your skepticism private?
Are you expected to attend church, donate money, etc. as an obligation of identifying as a Christian?

As far as they know I'm still christian at heart. What kills me inside though is the fact I cant even hint at what I really feel without emotions sorta rising. I tolled them I no longer wished to go to a certain church I've been attending for years as well as volunteered. This was pretty hard cause I did genuinly love and care about the people at my church...but couldn't take living out a lie every week.

Its like living in Orwell's "1984" but maybe not to the extreme of being executed for what I believe.
