Yeah, the high school I went to required at least one semester of religious studies each year, but we had some very cool classes (like a class on cults that included looking at early Christianity through the lens of a cult), and the sociological aspects were massive. In fact, the journals relating to religion with the highest impact factor are all sociological based.
The social component of religion is an underappreciated factor and influential over even the beliefs usually.
All that said, I can’t fathom ever obligating myself to a pre-noon social gathering on my weekends by choice. Even Sunday ‘brunch’ was only ever attended if around 1pm.
If rewriting the rules for church anyways, let’s at least add mimosas and have it start way later than it does.
