Every time I hear ‘atheist church’ my heckles rise. I am an atheist but I don’t go to any ‘church’ A lot of the theists are now beginning to say ‘look, atheists have their own church so atheism is a religion!’ My friend, as a fellow atheist can I ask you and other atheists to stop this ‘atheist church’ stuff please? We don't need it and it does more harm than good because it makes us all look ridiculous in the eyes of the theists and just gives them more ammo to attack us with. With respect and in a spirit of friendship, John.
Though I guess I can see what you're saying, I for one have a different view on what I have done. You see, I have only used church in two ways, one of which is to use a term that people can relate to and also as a comic joke on Atheism. The whole point of calling it Atheist Church is to bring up that notion that it a place that people can congregate without the underlying tones of religion. The point I am trying to make is that this title is simply symbolizing my desire to have a place where religion doesn't matter and we can focus on helping each other as humans. Though I respect your opinion, I also have my own and will keep the name "Atheist Church" for the time being. With full respect and understanding, Sakura
every time i hear 'atheist church' i want to stab someone. atheism gets enough black PR from religious hustlers (just search for atheism/atheist on youtube 90% are anti atheist attack videos that tell you what 'atheists are and what they believe) this shit is just enraging: atheism+ 'hey we are just like atheists except we don't do all those horrible things religious say atheists do. like eating babies' or this atheist church shit. why do i smell trojan horse??
Meaning of the word Church, 'a building used for public Christian worship' You could not be more wrong. Unfortunately being an atheist in some parts of the world is not easy for many reasons including what you are doing here! We atheists are trying to wake people up to reality not make ourselves look fools. Very sad and more than a little annoying.
