As a Taoist I happen to feel the same way about religious and/or spiritual groups. I just have a natural suspicion about such groups.
But one group, The Quakers, I've found that I like quite a bit. There's no indoctrination of any kind, and they welcome people who may have a different spiritual path than their own.
I attended one "Friends Meeting" while visiting my sister in Eugene, OR - and I attended one in Palo Alto. Like most things that happen on Sunday mornings, I would attend more often if it weren't held on Sunday morning!

Why can't they have a Saturday afternoon meeting?
