I suppose it doesn't matter what it is called, but I think that's really what I was getting at. Do we have to say "We are a bunch of Atheists that want to get together and share our ideals"?
Allow me to ask these questions and your response will answer tons of questions I have about Atheists' meetings. What do you all do every single sunday? Do you have "rituals" (not like killing goats or have candles lit while you chant ancient languages), I mean stuff that you do every weekend? Or do you just play it by ear. Is there an echelon of leaders or is everyone equal? Then there's the flip side to this, do you just come together in nonorganized fashion as friends who share beliefs and play cards, drink beer, watch football and sometimes talk about religion, Atheism, Agnosticism, Freethinking etc...?
