Please be kind, I’m not in the right frame of mind. I was chatting to a colleague today and usually it’s just casual low key topics like our kids, weekends etc. nothing too political. He’s a religious guy who goes to church, I’m not from a religious background at all but have recently felt there’s something missing and would like to visit a few religious places. I asked his advice and I told him I’ll be open to visiting as many places as I can apart from one (I won’t say which ones content to cause a meltdown). In my head it was just a throwaway comment I don’t really even think I meant it in truth it’s just something that came out. I’m worried now incase he mentions it to someone. It’s a very diverse workplace. Truthfully I have nothing against this religion but in my head I was trying to say I wouldn’t go as I don’t think I’d even be allowed to enter as they very strict. I don’t care what people think of me but I don’t want to hurt some of the people I consider my friends, I don’t want them to hear this and think I’m racism riwards them. I feel like such an idiot saying this and obviously will be more articulate in my explanation. How likely is it he will tell others?

I’m not getting involved in people’s agendas. I’ve had some good tips on here and yes I will take my kids to places I feel will welcome us. I don’t need to be talked down to like I’m stupid about dressing modestly I think I know how to dress in different places at my age! Thank you to those who for the non judgemental advice. Good night x

Honestly, you seem very rude. You really don't want to find a sense of community. You just figure some church will let you bring your children to their activities for free, as long as you don't have to be a member, attend church or be religious.

Where I am from, it's called "freeloading".
