At least you didn't go to a church where people kissed each other on the cheek. I'm Hispanic and the Spanish churches would often do this handshake and side kiss, as custom. I hated the old ladies who put too much perfume... But I feel like I can relate on this level too with just shaking hands. It just doesn't feel real or sincere and I didn't not feel comfortable, and some of this did have to do with me and not wanting to cross these boundaries. I think was more about my anger for going to church as to wanting to go for myself.
If it's a germ issue then carry a hand sanitizer mini bottle ... But if it's about personal boundaries, then there's probably a little more you're confortable with yourself

I actually think its both now that you mention. It feels forced and insincere.
