Funny you mention about the end times. I wanted to share about my journey within the past year, but wasn't sure of a good opportunity. Hope this reaches OP, even if he doesn't believe in God.

When BLM started rioting over George Floyd, my life turned upside down. My so called "church" somehow thinks the rioting is justified. My workplace became pozzed and "started a conversation" about "systematic racial injustice." The only person I could confide in was my mother, who lived halfway across the world.
Through the guiding of my counselor, I started looking for other churches in my area. I locked in on the one that didn't require a mask, which was depressingly rare.

And the church was far better than I hoped for. Yes, they were conservative. But they didn't resort to "own the libs" rhetorics. The pastor cared very much about what was right and pleasing to God, rather than what would score the most points against the opposition. We built a good small community group, and shared about our daily struggles of living in constant opposition. (We're in a blue state) Yes, things sucked, and they still suck. I lost my job and got evicted by in-laws for going to church in a "pandemic." But I'm far more joyful than I've ever been, now that I have support from people who actually care about the Gospel, and know how to encourage one another in our struggles.
(Addendum: The pastor cares very much about equipping us well for the world. He even invited a speaker to help us break down CRT and understand what to watch out for.)

So I have but one advice to give to OP: see if you can find a faithful church in your local area. It'll take time of trial and error, because faithful churches are far and few in between. PM me if you want more details. Note that it's not gonna immediately whitepill you. The mindset takes a long time to change.
