Just watched 4Thought after the Channel 4 news, and there was a guy claiming to be an ordained minister of the First Church of Atheism.

This just seems plain silly to me. What you think?

I may be wrong but I thought Atheists had no dealings with churches or ordained ministers of religion, and that atheism is not a religion. They'll be telling us next they have a Atheist Book of non-worship and non-worship on Sundays. Twenty quid in the offertory box or you are out of the clique.

Seems odd to me - I always understood atheism to be the absence of a belief, so how can you have a 'church' of an absence of a faith? Ludicrous!

Just in case you are thinking of trying it , this is only legal in thr USA.
They ask for donations to raise $900,000 to buy a Church , so far they have raised $62 , a bit of fundraising to do then ?

It is plainly an attempt by a bunch of atheists to lay claim to the tax breaks and privileges enjoyed by 'churches'. They are just using churchy nomenclature to meet the legal requirements.
