UCC, United Church of Christ. I've posted about them before. They're an amazing example of how you can start with puritans and, due to moral virtue signaling, end up here in ~250 years. It's crazy.
That was my church growing up. My family left them 30+ years ago because they were pro-abortion.
My friend's mom is a member, they treat the bible as a book of fairy tales- I'm an atheist so I agree with that but I don't claim to be a Christian when I'm clearly not one.
I'm in the same boat as you are. Grew up in that church, today I'm an atheist. Still have some family members who attend.
The thing that jumped out at me many years ago... I attended a Christmas service and the (lesbian) minister didn't say the word "God" the entire service. What's the point of going to church??

It's just a social gathering to them. Not sure why it gets tax exempt status.
