Happy happy Thursday all of you!
"There are people who try to get atheists to form a sort of atheist church and have atheist community singsongs and things. I don't see the need for that, but if people want to do it, why shouldn't they?"
Dawkins should be careful. It's a slippery slope. Before you know it atheists will be wanting to personify charitable intentions or something!
yeah ... I read that one and personally thought that sort of set up leads to the dogma and hocus pocus of church life. I don't want that but perhaps others crave the companionship and organization that one gets at church, temple or mosque. I would rather meet for dinner or lunch with pals or go to knitting club. Organizing atheism would make it just another religion. just my thoughts on it...
