I wonder what exactly believers are trying to accomplish by asking that. What I remember from my church-going days, I don't think I would've understood a single thing if I hadn't been taught what it's all supposed to mean. Or do they expect enlightenment to miraculously touch their poor misled friend once they finally set foot on hallowed ground?

It's just where they do their socializing.

They expect a grand plan, to make sense of this often chaotic existence, and for many, it gives them hope that there is a magical afterlife, behind pearly gates (gates meant to keep something in or out by a JUDGE.) Someone should have written a better script, but that is what you get from a mash-up of plagiarized dogma from previous religions written by goat herders who were barely literate. There is hardly anything original in the Bible.

Get you to meet their church friends who will then peer pressure you to come back next week.

"The only way to get enlightened by religion is setting a church on fire."

I see it another way. I'm the only one who wouldn't be burned by gods wrath, if God were real.

I like Pratchett's position. Gods like atheists like us because it gives them something to aim at
