I think age is also a factor but my gf is younger than me (she's 27) yet she doesn't have this problem. Could be the fact she is Wiccan and church did mention being welcoming to pagans.

My college professor/state job liberal aunt and uncle attend(ed) a Unitarian Universalist church. When my uncle died I went to the funeral with my conservative parents and conservative brother/sister-in-law and it was a riot as the Wiccans and pagans got up to speak about the memories they will cherish of my uncle. Then they all got up and started dancing, and that's when I decided it was time to take my nieces outside.

I'm searching for a way to describe it. Bizarre doesn't quite cover it. Strange is too nice. Ah ... Liberal, that's the word I was thinking of.

I've been to several funerals of people who were unbelieving secularists. The proceedings are usually quite miserable. By contrast, believers in Christ know their loved one is attending a banquet. No comparison!
