How about turning 'church' into a positive connotation? Smile More than today: tomorrow.

I'd be for that, if this 'atheist church' wasn't sending out a negative connotation. As I mentioned before, the whole idea of it seems like a piss take to me. I just don't think it's very wise to recycle a word used by religious people to describe your congregation when the whole point of your congregation is the complete opposite of the word you're using to describe it.

Just doesn't make any sense.
