It looked like a typical Sunday morning at any mega-church. Hundreds packed in for more than an hour of rousing music, an inspirational sermon, a reading and some quiet reflection. 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. The movement fueled by social media and spearheaded by two prominent British comedians is no joke. The inaugural Sunday Assembly in Los Angeles recently attracted more than 400 attendees, all bound by their belief in nonbelief.

The AP having another anti-faith orgasm. People without faith are people without souls...their afterlife will be dark and empty.
The difference is that atheists mock instead of worship. Whenever they get together to relate their “disbelief”, it’s always in mockery, saying how stupid religious people must be to believe in some old white-bearded guy sitting in the clouds. Do religious people get together to say how stupid atheists are? No, and there’s the difference.
They will merge shortly with the Unitarians. The Methodists are not far behind.
What else could go on in an "atheist mega church"? Heaven knows there are already enough places to go that have conscientiously omitted God.
Do they get together just to discuss how they hate Christians and hate God?
Of course! And the next step is for the Dems to legitimize these "churches" as mainline with legislation recognizing them as such. This is to further push real churches out of the mainstream and brand them as cults.
Atheists are sheep and they are the dumbest kind of sheep who thinks that freedom is found in the center of the herd.
Let the Atheist Mega-Social Centers thrive. Eventually, one guy with influence will find God and sneak back in to quietly evangelize to the sheep. He can be a modern-day CS Lewis.
>>The Methodists are not far behind.
Are you a Methodist? Or have you just “heard”?
Sooner or later they will be worshipping something, which will be the modern equivalent of the golden calf.
Get back to me when it's survived 2,000 years.
I hope these people are remembering to separate their church from their state...
So they have gone up from 1% to 1.1% big deal. It is still an empty lifestyle.
Pray America is Waking Up
Why would it be called a church?
If all they have in common, what bonds them, is a hatred for believers, doesn’t that make them a “hate group”?
Also, a “mega-mob” not a “mega-church”. A church without God is not a church.
With no higher power to guide them, dangerous leaders are the natural result - their mission will necessarily become persecution.
