None of those programs are intending on spreading atheism. As I have said, outreach isn't providing congregation or events for other atheists. Outreach is a church mission to go out and convert more Christians. Which was the entire point of my statement.
No, those are missionaries..... "church mission" should have been the hint. You like to keep digging don't you?

If you continue to parse my words for something I clearly didn't mean, you are choosing to do so knowing you are a dishonest moron, as every single person here knows you are when you spend 3 pages trying to define the position of the person you are discussing with even after they correct you 10 times.
The point is, the word "outreach" doesn't have any religious connotations, Go ahead, type "outreach program" in google and see how many "religious" ones pop up.
A few examples. FOSS Outreach Program

Quote:The Street Outreach Program enables organizations around the country to help young people get off the streets. To that end, the program promotes efforts by its grantees to build relationships between street outreach workers and runaway, homeless and street youth. Grantees also provide support services that aim to move youth into stable housing and prepare them for independence.
Quote:The Early Academic Outreach Program (EAOP) is an academic preparation program established in 1976 by the University of California to expand postsecondary education opportunities for California's educationally disadvantaged students.
Do those sound religious to you? What message are they trying to convert people to? Is it still your position that "outreach" means "religious organization"?
All you had to do was was admit you messed up and we could of moved on, but I'M the "dishonest moron", right?
Yes. Yes you are. Nowhere did I state that all outreach programs are religious. Yet again, right after I asked you to stop defining my position for me, you literally couldn't even wait one post before you did it again.
As usual, you dishonest piece of shit, I'm done with you. Not sure why I let myself go down this road with you time after time. You have nothing to offer except parsing a portion of someone's post and driving down a black hole of stupidity, zeroing in on one definition of a word that has multiple and refusing to acknowledge the others.
If I could put you on ignore, I would.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
