It looked like a typical Sunday morning at any mega-church...The only thing missing was God.
Dozens of gatherings dubbed "atheist mega-churches" by supporters and detractors are springing up around the U.S. after finding success in Great Britain earlier this year...
On Sunday, the inaugural Sunday Assembly in Los Angeles attracted more than 400 attendees, all bound by their belief in non-belief. Similar gatherings in San Diego, Nashville, New York and other U.S. cities...
The founders, British duo Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans, are currently on a tongue-in-cheek "40 Dates, 40 Nights" tour around the U.S. and Australia to drum up donations and help launch dozens of Sunday Assemblies. They hope to raise more than $800,000 that will help atheists launch their pop-up congregations around the world.

Their non-belief is a lie.
They all band together to try to convince themselves that they are right, but in their sub-conscious they are frightened children knowing that they are condemning themselves to hell.
They know there is a God and they are frightened of Him and band together for mutual support. In reality they are pathetic.
And this is different from Unitarian Universalist -— how?
What’s going to be their focus? Hatred of Catholics, Jews or anyone who believes in God?
Gee, sounds like the article has an agenda.
Don’t forget their sacrament of human sacrifice (abortion).
Some Unitarians believe in some form of deity, not all are atheist. The Wiccan ones are pretty freaky, though. Talk about conflicted. They’re no longer Christian, that’s for sure, and haven’t been for as long as I can recall.
How is this different from Unitarians?
This is a fad that won’t hold up. After a few times, the attendance will drop because it is a novelty.
Like saying you want to feast daily on eggs and at the same time wanting chickens to go extinct...that’s how absurd this concept is.
This is quite pathetic, really. Sort of like eating the fake fruit from the display at the restaurant.
No ... too religious.
ONLY a matter of time before CLERGY develops..
Some one will make money off this...
Love of Money is.... (you know)..... EVIL..

Attended a Tom Rush concert in Marblehead MA and he joked on stage “when I was living in Colorado some Unitarians burned a question mark on my lawn”.
That plus, “We’re brighter than Aquinas, kinder than Teresa of Calcutta, and more creative than God.”
