"Looks like they spend a lot of time having cocktails and telling each other how fun it is to be Godless."

Hmm..."Drinking Godlessly." A raving leftist associate of mine conducts similar gatherings at the local watering hole, and calls the organization "Drinking Liberally." It would appear alcohol and herd mentality are necessary components of their belief system.

It would appear alcohol and herd mentality are necessary components of their belief system.

Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? My bet would be on the atheism (or in your associate's case the raving socialism). Both, to me, connote someone with problems of identity and self worth that alcohol can seem ease to an extent.
