Nor do I. But it would be a great thing to unite like once in a week locally to have fun. We need to keep sane too. Religions have festivals, gatherings and such, why not us?
Of course the answer is we're nothing like religious people, but think of changing the world, if we stay and do nothing, we will be more oppressed sooner or later by religion. So why not now?

If we start acting like the religious we only have ourselves to blame if they treat us like it is one.
It also has other problems. Do we allow theists to join?
The church of the flying spagetthi monster has already taken the step to create a religion for those of us who wants to fight against stupid things done in the name of religion. Why don't you join them? Since they allow theist and atheist members people can't say that they are an atheist religion.
(They could do more with community projects and social events - maybe that is something to start)
I understand that we're not any way same with the religious folks. The Church of FSM, looked at the site. Looks quite funny . Thanks for sharing that out.
"It also has other problems. Do we allow theists to join? " No, we don't, unless they convert first. ;P
"Since they allow theist and atheist members people can't say that they are an atheist religion."
Hmm, why are we so afraid to stand out? Why do we have to merge with theist to start something like this? Something seems a bit wrong here.
