What Happens At An Atheist Church?

You can not have a church , religion , belief about nothing. Just because Atheists don't believe in God doesn't mean they believe in something else as an alternative. Therefore apart from their disbelief in God they have no common belief in something else. Most Atheists I know have nothing more in common than they would have normally with any friends and colleagues.
naomi,
alain de whatsit wrote a wonderful piece about the
"pylons appreciations society"

Belief in the existence of God, however, is not enough to move people to search for him.
Today there are millions of people who have not totally rejected belief in God, but that has not moved them to search for God.
A skilled scientist in the world could handle molecules like a bricklayer handles bricks, and that he only had a pile of protein molecules to work with. Do you think that he could build a cell of hundreds of millions of such molecules? Could he make it live, grow, propagate and leave to its offspring its own, and only its own, characteristics?
No, but according to atheistic belief, that which not even the most skilled human intelligence can achieve, occurred by mere chance. How well founded is such a belief?

Goodlife, why not give your own views and opinions rather than just copying and pasting a load of tripe off someone else's web site?
or at least give acknowledgement to the website you have copied it from.
you clearly don't have the intellect to write this stuff yourself so just be honest, you are deceiving nobody.

@goodlife Like Ratter said - Post a link to someone elses work, or at the very least acknowledge the origin of the screed you cut and paste - otherwise you are just being intellectually dishonest.
And no, we cannot create life in the way that you describe at the moment, but that does not mean to say we will never be able to..
Have you read about Craig Ventners work on synthetic bacteria?

Life is a self-sustaining, self-regenerating process, that achieves complexity as a function of the process of evolution. To believe otherwise suggests that some exceedingly more complex entity sits at the throne of the universe dictating each and every heartbeat of every organism that has ever lived.
LazyGun - //you are deceiving nobody// but your self.
//My worry is that some people are going to draw the conclusion that they have created a new life form,” said Jim Collins, a bioengineer at Boston University. “What they have created is an organism with a synthesized natural genome. But it doesn’t represent the creation of life from scratch or the creation of a new life form,” he said.//
When Jehovah’s witnesses call on the homes of people in the course of their true Christian educational work some people refuse to speak with them, even rudely closing the door in their face, and others decline to read any of their publications.
Why do people fear the truth? It does not chain them to fearful superstitions and burden of some religious rituals. It does not have them wasting their time and money on dumb images, no but is liberating people who listened to the truth.

Goodlife, people slam doors in their faces and are rude to them because they object to being pestered by these fools, it can be very irritating having these stupid people banging on your door usually on a day off and talking a load of nonsense. They aren't afraid of anything, just irritated about being disturbed!!!
Goodlife, //Why do people fear the truth?//
As one who fears the truth, you tell us.
Beckersjay, //it's a pity we don't see more people following their example on this topic of Answerbank.//
If that’s your experience, I agree, It’s not nice to be told continually that you’re immoral, blind, and doomed for eternity.
