Which is why secular churches have kind of become a thing (or were a few years ago, I'm not sure where they stand now). The basic concept of "get together with a bunch of people to consider and discuss how to be better people" is inherently pretty appealing and beneficial, but a lot of people don't like getting that through the lens of personifying morality as a deity or dealing with the aggressive guilt tripping, manipulation, and other harmful behaviours found in many organized religions. To that end, you get churches popping up that satisfy that need while avoiding the less appealing stuff.

Of course, the deity aspect aside, there isn't actually a shortage of congregations that don't do anything particularly objectionable or harmful. A lot of the parent organizations are pretty bad (the Vatican being perhaps the most notorious), but even within them, there are plenty of individual congregations that are perfectly pleasant and healthy to be a part of.
