Here's a guide for anyone interested in dipping their toes into spirituality, without having to immediately jump into any specific religion. Plenty of resources on teaching yourself to think critically of any propositions you may run into and how to get started with actual spiritual practice. Also covers things to look out for when you consider joining a spiritual community.

On Lemmy, there are a couple of religious communities but they are kinda quiet. I did connect with the mods of these though, meaning the communities aren't entirely abandoned (at the time of writing this):

Other:

You can search for more of course but many are dead. If you mod a religious community, do send me a message and I'll add it - provided that your space is inclusive.

There's also a general spirituality community on Beehaw but the instance is more selective about who they federate with:

Did you actually look at the Christianity community tho? And what the mods themselves have posted?

    I'd like to think that there are inclusive Christian communities. In fact I know there are (just not on Lemmy I guess). And I don't want to encourage painting all groups with the same brush, and would ask that you don't either, not in this community. But yes, in this case there was a miss on my part, now rectified.

    I'm not setting myself up as a teacher, more like my guide is an info board outside the city.

    And anonymous community shouldn't be one's primary spiritual community anyway. Place like this is fine for abstractly discussing teachings and finding resources but more personal discussion should happen with people you can be face to face with, at least sometimes.
