Here in Boston I went to a "church" for atheists/agnostics today. They don't call it a church but the format and general feel of it feels like one (in a good way). It's called the Humanist Hub and they have their own building space in Harvard Square. It's about 100 people. They meet every Sunday and also in smaller groups during the week. In their Sunday service they sing, read poetry, and have a different guest speaker each week. Today's speaker was a columnist from the Boston Globe. Their building also has a sort of Sunday school for kids (they call it "The Big Question" if I remember correctly) that was decorated and full of toys and books and stuff. Went out to lunch with a few of them. They're really nice. I was just amazed by it because people joke about atheists needing their own "church" a lot but this is the first time I've seen it become a reality.
