Yes, it is, as far as I'm concerned, bloody stupid.
I agree with the idea in principle, in that it creates a sense of community, something many atheists I've talked to say they miss since they left their religion.
However, I don't like the concept of calling it a "church" and the meeting on Sundays. Why not meet on a Saturday and call it an atheist social club, or something like that.
Calling it a church just gives more ammunition to the idiots who call us a religion. Yes, they're wrong, but it makes the fence sitters take notice of what we're doing.
