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.
Well... it's not really 'the complete opposite'... fundamentally, all that seems different is that one set of people believes one thing, and another set doesn't believe that thing. They still sing, they still have the whole 'preacher' setup (iian mistaken), they still do potluck and community events... it's a church without a god.
And that's what it means, precisely.


Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
