Yes, but there are not many secular options anymore. Churches offer community, which is now a commodity. Visit a service and see what you think of it, they'll just be glad to see you there.

Getting into religion for the sole reason of making friends has to be one of the gayest things you can do. At some point, it just becomes a LARP

I'll just reiterate what half of this thread has been saying:
Friendships are built first out of common interests. If you have a religion, fandom, hobby, or vice, there are physical places you can go to meet real people who are also into those things. If you don't have any of those things, consider for a moment why anyone would want to be friends with you.

First, get a new job; preferably one with better pay and hours and coworkers you can befriend. This will also answer your future "How can I get a girlfriend? Genuine advice please <3<3" post because women don't want to date losers who get work from an app.

Jesus died for the redemption of everyone, perhaps excepting those who he said are of their father the devil. Going into church for the sole reason of making friends with the Creator of the Universe is neither gay (He hates that stuff; He designed sex as between a man and a woman within the bounds of the sacrament of marriage) nor LARP. It's literally what He wants. It's fulfilling the reason you were created.

The earthly friends are a positive side effect.

Yes, you can generalize this into "go do social things with people who share your interests". You will make friends.

My strategy will give you a friend closer than a brother who loves you and seeks to improve your world. He stands and the door and knocks! Your call.

Did you go to a junior or community college? They aren't very social and people basically get in, do classes and get degrees, then get out.

If you are shy and just getting out the door seems difficult, I recommend just doing chores outside. Mow the lawn, water the plants, wash a car, clean some gutters, or just do something outside instead of inside (like bring a laptop outside and chill in the shade). Slowly makes yourself comfortable being outside. The first step.

As you become more accustomed, you could then make small talk with people going by. Just wave or wish them a good day or whatever. Little steps to socializing. Some people really appreciate just having their existence acknowledged with a "good morning/afternoon/evening". Just be sure you're within 10ft of doing so otherwise you'll seem retarded for yelling at a person from afar.

If you want to socialize, I can't really say much other than visiting social places. Join a yoga class, a casual local sports team, get a dog and chill with other dog owners, whatever it takes to get you out the door of your home. The dog recommendations are good. Pets force you into the public to buy food and exercise them. A cute, happy dog is guaranteed to attract women as well.
