As a former catholic, this community component around the church (any of the mainstream sort) is something that new religions like Crossfit, Apple or indie festivals simply can't beat. There are also many volunteering activities and connecting in that context, if you are observant, you can get to know quality people. It's a hit or miss though, depending on your town.
