Church for non-believers

I struggle to put into words what I’m looking for, but I know I can’t be the only one. I think I was born agnostic. I grew up going to a very accepting hippy church here in seattle, and spent the summer visiting family up at Holden village. Overall an idyllic and trauma free religious upbringing! But I never believed in god. And while that certainly lead to some overwhelming existentialism, I look back on church and the cultural Christianity of my upbringing with a sense of nostalgia and loss. I always wanted to believe but I don’t. I crave a community that doesn’t exist for me. From a brief google search there just isn’t anything for us- no humanist or atheists church services that aren’t online. How does the most agnostic corner of America not have that? Is there anyone else here that has been looking for something similar- the best parts of church (community, singing, discussion, SNACKS, public service) sans the lord? have you found it?
