For me, it is Roman Catholicism. I know I am not the only one either. For many years I have had this feeling of fondness for the church as if it had once been a part of my life.
A few years back I was rather sleepily watching a T.V. documentary about the English reformation. I found myself actually thinking that this was wrong, and that we should return to"mother church". That woke me up with a shock, was that me thinking that?
There have been several other examples but I need not repeat them all. I mentioned it once to my mother who told me that my father, a convinced atheist, had once said that "if he ever found god he could only become a Catholic.
A good friend was a devoted Marxist and ferocious atheist. His only other interest was the pursuit of sex with nearly every woman he met. He shocked me one day by admitting that if he was not a Marxist he would probably be a Catholic priest.
He like me was the son of a lukewarm Anglican mother and an atheist father. I am a Buddhist and inspired by Druidry yet like others feel this little urge?
