I only use the example because I know St James has such a support group. It's one of many programs or groups the church either runs or participates in.

How is that a bad example? All those were examples of normal socials groups under the influence of a church.
So as a non beliver I could join this grief group? Would I be free to express I'm an atheist and don't believe my husband is in a "better place?" Would they try to conform (brainwash) me into accepting their way of thinking? Would I be accused of disrupting the group by sharing my opinions and be asked to leave?


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
