I was raised in the UMC, and even though I'm an atheist now, I'll always be grateful for the UMC's gentle, humanistic approach to modern American Christianity. Every time my family went to church, I felt like I was surrounded by good people who looked out for one another. There was no hate preached from the pulpit, no insistence on voting for racists and hatemongers.

My sister attends our very liberal local United Methodist Church. The pastor is a lesbian, and they fly pride flags outside the church. I hope this guy in Kansas can bring some of that to the "What Is Wrong With?" State.
