At least one atheist Church exists in Melbourne.
The Unitarian Church here is very heavy into, social justice, as percieved by them, Stalinism to some degree, philosophy, poetry etc.
Oh yes, the atheist choir also sings there.....  |

Now, I'd never heard of that. It's a unique idea and I think it's a good thing.

I really see Atheism/ Scientism with no opposing force such as religions, not withstanding the inherent problems in that field, as a potential nightmare.
Scientism is already acquiring a religious status, with Dawkins and his ilk viewed as secular gods by many. An open sense of awe helps keep things in perspective.  |

I read a book by dawkins about natural selection which addressed the intelligent design debate, and was interesting.
it's probably a good idea to have temples which represent virtues, and let them speak of truth compassion kindness conscience and other things. It would take the focus away from God and toward humanities developement of finer qualities.

I agree with this, but then someone will come along and want to organize it all, then we will have dogma and rest that religion has now, but then it might work ?.
