Atheist church?

Here are some quotes from the article:
"It's not a church, it's a congregation of unreligious people."
"I think people need that sense of connectedness because everyone is so singular right now, and to be part of something, and to feel like you are part of something. That's what people are craving in the world."
Warning: I'm pretty sure this is how all religions started, folks.
I think Robbie's got a point here. Maybe try having your non-service on Thursday. And somewhere that doesn't look like a Catholic church. I remember another group of people who got together because of a guy named Jones; it didn't end well.

"It will become an organised religion. It's inevitable. A belief system will set in. There will be a structure, an ethical outlook on life," says architect Robbie Harris.
