Atheist Mega-church movement (launched by British comedians)

Not me. It would only a matter of time before that congregation passes around the collection basket and starts getting all sanctimonious about the joy they have found in congratulating each other about not being as fucked up as everyone else.

You are right. It will eventually become as organized and structured as every other religious institution. However, there will be no worship of a god and bashing of sinners and non-believers but, as described in the article, it will be a place of rousing music, inspirational talk, quiet reflection, and engagement in community.

This is your average religious church too. I think a lot of atheists caricature-ize the religious because they are not comfortable being challenged to live beyond the next moment, and to think beyond their own cocoon of existence.

I think you just caricatured atheists...
