Atheists starting godless churches

[Cleita]

36. I don't know either. I'm sure a bunch of like minded people could

get together and decide what it could be and what would constitute its guidelines, not dogma but guidelines subject to change as information becomes available. What it would be is a community of like minded people. I would prefer that there be no professional leaders, like priests or ministers, but instead that a democratic system of selecting leaders for the year by lottery be used.

Where to meet? My personal preference would be a nice green house within a garden, but that would be up to the members too. Also there needs to be legal safeguards against using it to make money for those unscrupulous ones among our peers.

Since people band together as community, which is what a church is, your request that I explain what you don't like about the concept doesn't make sense. Other than Creationists and flat earth believers most of us know what science is and I would love the weekly sermon to be on things that are affecting us today, like global climate change or new discoveries in medicine. Also, informing against junk science and science used for destructive purposes.

Instead of some jackass carrying on about Armageddon how about information on keeping our world healthy for future generations?
