Hm, for people who supposedly hate religion, they sure do like copying us.
The way I see it, it's deliberately for atheists who have been raised religious and still have a need for whatever a Sunday service gives them.
No idea what that is, I haven't ever regularly gone to church. But people must get something out of it otherwise they wouldn't go, despite their post-rationalisation of why they do.
So I have no problem with it.
Yeah, some people do use humanist societies to subsidiary for religion like on funerals and weddings. For instance when Isaac Asimov died in 1992 he had a memorial held by Ethical Culture Center where they talked about him and remembered him one last time, something like a one last party in his honor.
We frequently do have discussions with people who claim that atheism is a religion, but then you also have to broaden definition of religion so that any gathering is a religion like astronomy club and the chess team could be religions too.
Also does declaring atheism to be a religion help the case for the existence of a god?
