I would like to start a new church. The Church of " I don't know"
The church would have a few basic premises.
Premise 1 "I don't know"
Premise 2 " You don't know"
Premise 3 " Anyone who deludes themselves into declaring that they know is indeed deluded.
Premise 4 There is a wonder of not knowing. It keeps your mind open and it fosters a spirit of exploration. It allows you to ride the present moment in a state of wonder
Does anyone want do join? To join all you have to do is say " I don't know"

There was a "know nothing" political party in the USA in the 19th century, the 17th vice president Schuyler Colfax almost joined, he seemed a pretty decent guy.
To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge. Socrates

Somewhat like the Unified Front for Anarchy?(UFFA)
The National Anti-Institutional Institution (NAII)?

I don't know. I have to ponder it a while. I'll let you know.

I'm not sure,...as some of the others have posted the term "church" is definitely a loaded one. Of course "tax-free" is a plus, but then I am for religions to lose that status & only be able to operate just as secular non-profits do.

Don't want to join any church, or religion. Why would you want to create one?

I wouldn't call it a "church." Christians have ruined that word. Let's find a new one.

Institution
congregation
Or, Fellowship. There are plenty of ways to organize it without using the word "Church"
There is an organization called Sunday Assembly doing kind of a similar thing. Here's a link to their site. [sundayassembly.com] I kinda like the word Assembly; it fits in with the A's of Atheist and Agnostic.
I thought I knew that church is good business. I don't know if this venture will ever be enterprising? I don't know, man, I really don't know
