Hi I love your blog & hope you could help me. I'm a white female who is also an athiest. While I have no religious beliefs whatsoever I sometimes enjoy going to church & listening to the priest during mass. Is this bad? Am I appropriating? I have no idea why I like going, I think it's just calming for me. I always sit at the back too so I'm not in anyone's way.

I truly do not know if that is appropriation or not; I am sorry I cannot answer. Perhaps someone can comment on this and let us know?
