I like this post. It also seems to me that your point is really about community, not religion. The good things about the Quakers you mention don’t seem to be fundamentally about God or mysticism or something. What do you think?
Yes, I’m not advocating for a belief in God, but perhaps for practices that arose due to a particular belief in God. For instance, Quaker style meetings might have a bunch of unknown positive effects that we just can’t reason or realise a priori. It’s worth looking at their practices and seeing which ones we consider might be useful for the community (or parts of the community) to adopt
