The most disgusting christian content you will ever see.

[Huggy Bear]

Wait a minute...

If you despise the christian/religious lifestyle so much, why do you atheist's try so hard to emulate it?

Have you forgotten about the miracle of Christianity?

No matter how stupid and disgusting Christianity had already been up to now, christainity can always be counted on to out do itself tomorrow.

What by getting together to celebrate life and being human? The desire to congregate is not limited to theists. We just don't see where the God part is necessary, relevant, or helpful.

There's an old joke:

Q: What is a Unitarian?
A: An atheist with kids.

From your video:

"With things as they are, the number of atheists [in the UK] is set to overtake the number of Christians by 2030." Because they all want to be like Christians huh?

Exactly!
What separates a Catholic church from a Presbyterian church? Their doctrine.
Theses churches are no more christian than the "atheist church" because being christian means to be identified with Christ, but their doctrines are not scriptural, and instead of being identified by Christ they are identified by their organization.
If they identified with Christ, then they would have the same doctrine.

Matthew 15:9
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

There is also a passage of Jesus standing outside the door knocking, trying to get back in the church.

Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

My point is, the atheist church is a religious organization:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion

A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.[note 1] Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and/or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.

And doctrines don't have to include God in order to be a doctrine.

doc·trine
/ˈdäktrin/
noun
noun: doctrine; plural noun: doctrines

a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.

Don't tell that to me I'M TOTALLY AGAINST THIS ATHEIST CHURCHES, AND I RECEIVED A LOT OF SKEPTICISM TRYING TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT THIS(Your response) WILL BE THE NATURAL OUTCOME OF THIS.

So a 'church' that doesn't involve believing in God, if you want to join in with the theists and the press in calling them churches, shouldn't pose a problem for an atheist.

Ehh Yeah. It is if we what to make it very clear to the world(THE WORLD! NOT US) that atheism ain’t a religion. Okay I dunno if you read bad or I wrote bad because so far you’ve misinterpreted a lot of things I’ve said so I’m gonna put you very simple.

People(theist, naïve, ignorant and non familiar to atheism) promote the idea(silly idea) that atheism is a religion. That is wrong. However if this atheists churches continue to grow without a name change. That only will be counter productive to atheism. That is my concerns please tell me you get it. Because I don’t know how else I can’t explain it to you.

So to all of you who doubt me:

But this was a thread about christian music so when did we started to talk about christian lifestyle?
Just because atheist start sing songs that doesn't mean that they are emulating religion. Since when the music and art of singing are exclusive for religious people?

So may I ask Huggy74 why bringing up the atheist churches?

Just keeping the "disgusting content" conversation "fair and balanced".

Also this has been discussed long before your "prediction".

I'm sure Esquilax posted some really nice points and raised quite a few issues. You however stil haven't confronted any of the points you so spectacularly missed regarding parody and what atheism actually is (no, not a religion like you keep regurgitating from your favourite apologist website, but rather a lack of belief in a deity or deities).

So, going to humour us pumpkin? Or are you going to take us on a non-stop tour of 'make a point, Dodge all replies, and then trollolololol'?

You also didn't answer whether English was your first language. I'm going to assume it isn't as you said you understood what a fallacy of composition was and then proceeded to post another fallacy of composition in support of your erroneous 'argument' (if one could call it that).

are you sure you even know what "fallacy of composition" even means? I clearly showed you that atheists can be religious.
Want more evidence?

What "organized collection of beliefs" would you be referring too? Atheists have one thing in common: we don't have a belief in god. How humans relate to the cosmos isn't part of that definition nor is where morals come from. There's no atheist ideology, dogma, world view, etc.

worship
[wur-ship]

noun
1.reverent honor and homage paid to God or a sacred personage, or to any object regarded as sacred.
2.formal or ceremonious rendering of such honor and homage:
3.adoring reverence or regard:

First of all you CHOOSE to believe there is no God, none of you can make an honest proclamation that God doesn't exist. For you not have a belief in God, the concept would have to be non existent. So your belief that God doesn't exist is your ideology.

Secondly as quoted in the video, they are gathering to "celebrate life" (singing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey ironically), as above definition number 2 defines as "worship".... you do the math.

When singing songs at church we don't dance, I cannot watch people trying to dance like in those videos.
