Everybody should become a Christian, and if you aren't you should do it today - do it now.
But - at least initially - become a Christian first, and don't leap into joining a church.
Obviously, this does not apply if you believe that only one church is THE Christian church - but few Christian's truly believe that.
*
The problem is that at least 90 percent of actually-existing self-styled Christian churches are anti-Christian in overall tendency and effect - Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist etc.- typically, they all lead their flock astray.
Indeed, all the large, powerful mainstream churches in the UK are - at their senior levels especially - primarily 'front' organisations for Left Wing politics - Christianity is merely a rationalization for their primary agenda of political correctness.
So, why join a church that will try to make you a worse Christian, or not a Christian at all?
*
Even among the (say) ten percent of real Christian churches, at least half will be unsuitable for you personally, for one reason or another.
Either they will be just not-helpful, or so alien and unappealing that it will be a constant battle merely to attend, to engage and to stay active.
At a conservative estimate - if you become a Christian and join a church then there is a ninety-five percent chance that church will not help your new faith, or will actively try to erode it.
*
Clearly, it is much the best thing to be inside and engaged-with a real Christian church - but that is much easier said than done.
Therefore the safest strategy in the UK is to become a Christian in haste, but to be slower and very careful about choosing a denomination; or else you will likely have cause to repent at leisure your precipitate act of premature church membership.
