I don't know which problem with your question to make fun of.
This may help a little: Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We have churches?
Dang! Why don't they ever tell me these things?

We don't come to your door every Saturday, but we DO go in traffic and start knocking on peoples' car doors to tell them about the Holy Atheism. There are more cars than houses 
Depends on the church. What do theist churches believe?
But seriously, there are atheist members of religious congregations ranging from Buddhism to UU to non-theist Quaker (which is a real thing: Nontheist Friends: Quaker atheists, agnostics, humanists, and others who practice Quakerism without supernatural beliefs)
So... what an "atheist church" believes depends on the particular atheists in that church. And many (most?) atheists don't belong to any church at all.
I can't really get more specific than that. Atheists are nothing if not diverse.

Orgies and goat sacrifices, mostly.

It's nice to have a group with which to not believe in gods together.
It has me thinking.... IF there was an Athiest church formed, what would be discussed during "church time"?
Because some atheists are religious.
Atheism is just about belief in gods. You can still be an atheist while accepting other supernatural claims.

I imagined a cook-out every (insert meeting day). That's just me though.

Churches are as community centers for a specific set of beliefs, and do NOT, under ANY circumstances, require glass walls in each side, a huge Jesus-Cross on the top, NOR anything that implies a Theistic-religious belief.
Again, a church is but a place wherein believers of a specific cult, belief system, etc, can gather and do their usual thing. In the case of "non-Theism" i guess ranting would be a more appropriate description of such "gatherings".

My usual thing, as an atheist (along with most others), is to go about my life as if there is no god. This requires little to no ranting, nor any community centers.

There are many "Christians" who don't go to their churches either.
