well, the dude who did invite me to the church is a very christian dude like me but he is evangelical and i have no religion
he said i was going to love it, but i didn't love i just liked it
there were some good things but some i didn't agree with, like the tithe thing, they say you ain't obliged to do it but they try do you do it, they could have been a little more open about it like "the church got rent to pay so if you guys want to help it please consider donating and ting". 2 of them did talk about the tithe, one did use two bible verses:
"One person gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:24-25"
i think it's a little persuasive to use it exactly where there is people who believes in God, bible and ting. This one is better to practice on your day-to-day, yet it's not talking only about money, but also about being generous, kind, do favors and be helpful to people
The evangelical church has a pop approach, there was live music, keyboard, bass, drums, singing, i liked it. But there was some extravagance and also things like kneel down to the stage by which they call "the altar" (i don't think calling a stage an altar is right), thankfully few people did that, i do kneel down and pray but not in public, i think there is no need to do it like that, being a true christian is about following Christ teachings like love thy neighbour, i think there is no need to these things they do at the evangelical churches.
The things i liked is that they talked about the Messiah and a bible passage. The people were kind, some were neutral, but to be honest just that friend of mine has the "christian aura", i couldn't feel the christian aura on anyone else there, maybe because most of the people there was the first time i was seeing them. There was handshakes and hugs i liked it, if you feel very lonely consider an evangelical church you may like it, you are not forced to pay the tithe so there will be free live music and free hugs
i will be there some more times, to see if something interesting happens, it's very unlikely i turn evangelical, i do rather stay with no religion

I'm not atheist, i'm very christian, i just don't have a religion like evangelical, catholic, jew, adventist, nothing like that, all of them have things i don't agree with, the catholic is the one i disagree the most. I did read all the bible and follow the max i can from it
