Church and the atheist?

I�m not a believer in religion. Having said that, I�ve been to church many times in the UK for weddings and funerals. I found the experience to be one of despair. The church was invariably cold, dull and in many cases it was a boring experience. However, I was recently invited to go to someone�s communion in a Catholic church in rural Spain. The experience in that church was uplifting. The whole time I was there I felt relaxed. People came and go as they pleased. Some answered mobile phones and others chatted through the communion. The one thing that would make me go again was instead of organ music they had guitars playing. Even some traditional hymns sounded so much more inviting. I could have stayed there all day just listening to the music. The church was packed full of people. When I�ve been in the UK churches seem a much stiffer occasion and their appears to be dwindling membership. Why can�t the UK adopt the same as rural Spain. Have a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
