Atheists starting godless churches

[Cleita]

26. Consider this.

The science we know today came from religion. Religion came from our early ancestors need to understand the universe around them. Astronomy came from astrology, chemistry from alchemy. Math, physics and engineering came from the building experiments of raising temples and tombs. Early mathematicians and scientists in the Greco/Roman world were known as philosophers because they walked a world that was between the known and the unknown.

Also human beings have a primitive need to celebrate life events, births, coming of age, marriages, menopause in women and deaths. Churches fulfill this need. When my neighbor lost her husband she was surrounded by the love and support of her church and it's members. When my husband died, his funeral arrangements were taken over by family and a church I didn't belong to. I was pretty much left out twisting in the wind. It would have been nice to have a community of like minded friends to help me celebrate his life.

These are just my thoughts though so take from it what you will.
