A few cities have a humanist group called "Oasis"; I used to go and it was basically exactly the same structure as church, except the "sermon" would be a guest speaker talking about a topic that interests them. But still, music, community moment, pass the donation plate, coffee, gossip...

Some Oasis groups post a podcast if you want to listen-in.

And of course there's also Unitarian Universalist groups...

Or just find an open-minded place of worship and start attending.
