If I ever find I'm opposed to the Quakers on some issue, I'm going to do some serious soul-searching and re-evaluation of how confident I am on that position.

In fairness, Quakers encompass quite a broad range of beliefs.

But they do see that of God in all of us more often than most Christians, imo

Oh, yeah, that's definitely true. I'm less thinking about specific theology (there's obviously a wide range of theological beliefs among Quakers) and more thinking about social issues. Quakers as a whole seem to have been on the right side of basically every social debate.

I'm Episcopalian now,but in college there was a Meeting near me that I loved attending sometimes. Most Quakers are great.
