And why are the Sunday Assemblies surprising, or something worth mocking? Most American atheists were raised going to a church service every Sunday morning, it got ingrained as an integral part of life. So, gee, when the "no god" light bulb goes off in their heads, that's all well and good, but they're missing community.
Some atheists find other ways to create that community.
The difference is, it's not a requirement. No atheist believes that they'll go to hell if they skip an assembly. There is nothing to praise and worship. There are no requirements for what goes on in an assembly. Heck, I have heard that many of them are like TED talks, with coffee and donuts. Sounds fun.
