Sample atheist church sermon:
"Good evening everybody. Thanks for coming. So, anybody believe in god yet? No? Me neither. Alright, see you again next week."

If there is an established "atheist church", it could hurt the credibility of the phrase "atheism in not a religion".

Do Christians in Africa who burn witches hurt the credibility of Christianity?

The burn ward at your local hospital must be quite busy. The cops too.

I strongly diagree with the notion that everyone is spiritual or that we are "hard-wired to be spiritual."
It just reeks of arrogance.

This reminds me of the "Church of Satan". Despite the fact most Satanists are anti-theists they still require the need of a "Church" or institution of some sorts. American Atheist, Atheist Alliance International, and the National Atheist Party are all "churches" of some sort for atheists regardless of the label used.
As an atheist friend of mine once told me "it is not that we don't believe in god, it is just that we have found something better".

I guess I would have to be there to form an opinion.
I will however say that, for me at least, there is definitely something to be said about meeting like-minded people and nurturing good will in group activities.
Does that characterize religion? It could go either way. It really is in the eye of the beholder.

Its not a fact that most Satanists are anti-theists.
Just saying. The whole CoS thing is fodder for flies, its just a bunch of people wanting to be a part of a group, no different than Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Atheists. Whether or not they actually know anything about Satanism is disputable, most of them that come around here tend to get slapped around and then return to whatever narrow minded agenda they have planned.

You have pretty much stated everything I said earlier lol. Also do keep in mind that when I say anti-theism is is specifically limited to Christianity mostly. They hold grudges against Christianity or religion in general and go under the impression they are rebelling or somehow achieving something greater. It is a personal agenda and the vast majority have something to prove to the world or other Satanist. The point though is that all the efforts done by these communal Satanist are delusions.
