Can I, an atheist, go to church to learn about the faith?

Hi there. I know that sounds like an odd thing to say but please listen to my entire statement because I am genuinely curious about this and i want to get opinions on it from genuine believers.

I grew up in a Christian home, but throughout my years i parted from the faith as I became older and am happy and comfortable with that. Im a very curious person and now more than ever Ive become deeply fascinated by certain faiths/theisms and psychology. The Islamic faith, Abrahamic faiths (The saint Lutheran’s church and average Protestant evangelical faith are most interesting to me). Ive been wanting to learn more about the Bible and just what people believe from them for a long time now. And sure while I could buy a Bible or read it online, I am curious more about the philosophies that it can teach from pastors and those who have a core understanding of their faith and scripture in their daily life as well as how it can impact worldviews all together from its interpretations. Real people. And also biblical teachings of historical and geological events. There’s just a lot overall im very curious about. I obviously want to do this respectfully and privately but you can only do so much of that on your own record. I feel like going into an actual church and talking to and listening to real average people would be a much better and effective way to do that. My concern is if that if I go to church and I start meeting and connecting with some of the people, and I mention “Oh yeah im actually an atheist, im just very interested in the faith.” It could be seen as incredibly offensive. For record too, I would never be going there to question someone’s faith or beliefs. That is my personal business and mine alone.

In my opinion, everyone has the right to believe what they believe however they choose to do so as long as it is not hurting another person. 🤷‍♂️

Could I get some opinions of what I should do here?
