Atheist "church" in London.

[Cinjin]

Sure we don't, but this isn't about what people need; this is about what people want. These people clearly want a place to meet up and talk about ideas on a Sunday. Maybe they don't want to go down the pub, or to clubs or other places. Maybe all their friends are religious and go to church on Sunday.

I'm not sure why people are so against this idea. When did meeting up with people, singing songs, discussing science, and having a good sociable time become wrong? I must have missed that memo.

Exactly.

"It's a nice excuse to get together and have a bit of a community spirit but without the religion aspect," says Jess Bonham, a photographer.

"It's not a church, it's a congregation of unreligious people."

Another attendee, Gintare Karalyte, says: "I think people need that sense of connectedness because everyone is so singular right now, and to be part of something, and to feel like you are part of something. That's what people are craving in the world."

I think it's awesome when like minded people band together. Their "church" mocks organized religion. That's cool with me. None of them are pretending to have a "new religion." If anything we non-believers should start more of these social gatherings and start showing the world that traditional church is just a social network that humans crave and that stupid angry gods are primitive and unnecessary.
