Yes you're right. Church activities have a lot in common with hobbies and clubs, and church folk criticise me for saying that. Any time people get together for shared activities will exhibit a lot of commonality.
Not the commenter, but Christian as well. Consider myself non-denominational, but attend/worship at an Episcopalian Church. The hobby comment isn't entirely untrue, but there's more meaning to it than that for me at least.
Most hobbies don't have such an outsized influence on my life. The hobbies that could would cost a lot of money.
you're not wrong
