I have often, derided the Fundamentalist Christians, not for worshiping in their own ways, but for trying to exclude all other forms of belief and making claims as to their 'rightness'. nothing should be forced on another, that is not free will.
I have tagged myself as Multi-Spiritual, accepting all realms as something to gather an idea or thought from. not excluding not pushing my beliefs onto anyone, just showing what is out there, all fear removed.
The following is a Prayer of Initiation as channeled to one of similar thoughts on the belief systems available, it includes even my gainsayers.
The Prayer Of Initiation
Gifted to us from the Lady Mary received through Judy Humphreys
May the love of God come forth now into this space, into our minds
and into our hearts
In this stillness let the word of God speak so that all might hear
and come into the presence
Be At Peace Be At Peace Be At Peace
May all those beings of light and love from the many mansion
worlds of God join with us now and support us on our journey
We call upon the Great Illuminator, The Buddha and the supreme
Avatar of Love, The Christ, to overshadow us now with their
blessing
We call upon the spiritual hierarchy and all who are aligned with
God's will and God's light to surround us: the Elohim, the
Archangels and the Cosmic Angels, the Ascended Masters, the
Devic Kingdom and the Christed Extraterrestrial races, who seek
to fulfill the Divine Plan on Earth and in the Heavens
We welcome you and ask that we are uplifted and guided by your
loving presence.
AMEN
and then:
ARCTURIAN
BALANCING MEDITATION
Say the prayer of initiation
Call in your Arcturian healing team
Ask them to...
Please clear my energy fields of all imbalanced energies, thoughtforms and beliefs
that are not of God and not of love
Please clear all lower vibrational projected thought forms or sabotaging lower
vibrational energies
Please clear all harmful extraterrestrial implants
Please clear all interfering or sabotaging astral entities or elementals
Please clear my cellular memory of all trauma energy, sadness and fear
Please heal, repair and balance my chakras so that they spin in the perfect rhythm...
focus on chakras 1-12 in turn.
Please assist me to open my heart into total unconditional love and oneness with all
that is.
Please assist me to align with my path of service and with Divine Will.
Please assist me as I manifest abundance flowing to be now as I AM God's love
Thank You.
And then
you can accept it:
From Maitreya - Mantra for Positive Energy
I no longer attract negative energy into my life,
I attract positive, happy people.
I let go of my inner sub-conscious need to be around those who are unhappy and not in balance with their life.
And so it is. Amen

I agree that you should only be around those who lift you up and make you feel better.
i don't think any diety wants to be worshipped, not if he/ she is a good intention one anyway. Respect is the right way. And what ways we choose doesn't matter a hill of beans either. That is a creation of man.
Blessings and best wishes - S.
Guess this sounds like rambling. But...
You began talking about deriding Fundamentalist Christians, and ended saying you needed to stay away from people who are unhappy. Assuming that you're talking about the same group of people, that should not be. The true message of Christianity is a happy one. God is love. Jesus said that the most important things we can do are to love God and our neighbor. Those should not be negative messages.
And so I ponder... Perhaps we need non-Christians to teach us how to approach them. :)
I don't have any trouble with "fundamental christians" since they are, for the most part, totally ignorant of biblical teachings. They have what I call a "Vacation Bible School" understanding of the Bible. I usually just ignore them, unless they get in my face.
And Marylin, you are right, religion is spposed to be joyous, not fire and brimstone, Elmer Gantry evangelicals.
Congrats on the Oscars sweep with Slum Dog Millionaire, I was very moved watching the acceptance speeches, they shone as more true as well.

you are right! There is always subversion in congregating I find. Also, spiritual matters, to me, are a singular and private function in each persons life.
