Technically it's not church. It's Sunday Assembly..... but IT'S CHURCH! I understand the need to fill the void I guess, but why the format? Maybe I just don't understand because I disliked church so much.
I see.. but, calling it Sunday Assembly is giving religious wackos another reason, to smear atheists and call us a religion. If there are meet-ups, where you can meet atheists about twice a month, then you can meet some new friends, and hang out with them elsewhere, and go back to meet and welcome other atheist folks, at the meeting place.
I support people's rights to conduct a Sunday Assembly for atheists, but I wouldn't necessarily agree with approaching it in that manner.
