Myself I simply don't have a belief in any god, or god's, but I don't call myself an atheist, I don't blindly believe everything that science says, I am a free thinker.
I do agree that its great that so called atheist do keep a balance with religion, after all who is going to keep them honest, but like all belief systems they eventually try to take over, or put themselves above all else.
I might be wrong, but I do feel that atheist are becoming arrogant in their beliefs, it could be that their beliefs in science makes them feel as if they can never be wrong.
I just hope this is not the case, I do like the atheist way of thinking more than the religious way of thinking, but I just hope we are not getting rid of one monster to be replaced with another.
On my part this is not a debate but a simple question, thank you.
Some may turn it into that - the atheist "church" to me is a step in the right direction with one major error: Calling it a "church" and holding it on sunday as an alternative to church.
Where we're going the right way is forming a community, something that many former theists have said they miss. Church does create a sense of community.
Fortunately there are more of those communities forming worldwide and reaching out to other non-believers.
Religion is on its way out in Western nations, and many of the religious are fighting kicking and screaming to resist.
Yea I don't like the idea of calling an atheist gathering a church, it just sounds hypocritical. Yes I suppose that is true that no matter who we are we all still like to commune with each other, be that is sports or anything really

Yes I do agree, but it does seem they like to push science down everyone's throat, as if one cannot argue after that.

You don't blindly believe everything that science says.. because you're a free thinker? Uh, free thinkers follow science.. sorry.
But still, science cannot be totally right with everything they say, well I cannot believe that. Of course science has a lot of truth, but they are not the owners of all truth.
