But all we do here is talk. That doesn't sound like my idea of a fun club - sitting around and just talking. A Christian club can atleast have some fun activities (for them) based on their religion.
Also, most of us here usually talk only in response to resident theists. If all the theists here were to disappear tomorrow, conversation would be quite scarce. This a forum, all we are supposed to do here is talk.
And if you think they won't have any activities, then you are sadly mistaken. If anything, religion limits the number of activities.

By all means, correct me. From normal chatting, to scientific book reading and exploration to organizing fund raisers for charities or rallies for humanitarian causes to raising general awareness, they do have a lot of options, all you need to do is let your brain do some thinking .

Where I go to school, I go to a club called SU (Scripture Union) in other words a Christian. Like the one you described our club is lead by pupils not teachers, though teachers do take part.

Infiltrate the club and ask questions. You could even tell them you're atheist and if they won't let you in that's discrimination. If they do let you in that would be fun. Don't worry they'll let you in. Christians love to defend their beliefs. It's expected of them. The bible says so. Although it also says be discreet.
Belief in a Cruel God makes a Crueler Man. Thomas Paine with minor edit crueler instead of cruel.

No don't, they will just annoy you. It's fun for the first 5-10mins, then it gets annoying, boring, and repetitive pretty fast.

It sounds like my idea of a fun club though. I founded one around ten years ago (now known as the Freethought Society of the Midlands) partly promped by a study I had read that indicated that atheists don't live as long as theists. A little more research showed that trend didn't carry over into largely atheistic European countries and I surmised that the difference was probably due to the social isolation typical of atheists in America, We have meetings pretty much every week that are only dinner and conversation (or conversation followed by dinner and conversation). We have very occasionally had a speaker, and recently established a charitable arm; but for many people there is value in just socializing with people who don't stigmatize you.

I've not had the experience of seeing humans with a common language and snacks in a group where conversation is scarce.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
