Ol Charles you are missing it entirely. It's not that cut and dry.


Fellowship is a huge part of christians and their meetings at church. They may want to spend time with likeminded people, do activities with eachother. A level of comfort with spending your time with people who have something significant to you, in common.

Obviously a huge part of christian church service is direct worship.


So the question exists - what are there for atheists to do in a gathering ? Perhaps they could :
- talk about if they were ever religious to begin with and what changed their minds
- discussions over various religions (and not necessarily just to shit on them)
- discuss political and social events that they may feel are for or against them.
- and yeah, who knows, maybe they could discuss on how right they are for not picking christianity - but isn't the opposite what Christians do ? It's all in how you view it.


And you may wonder why atheism usually "attacks" christianity the biggest. We are in America, and there is no more prominent religion at all. Especially in the south ! It wasn't until I moved to Austin did I finally feel like I wasn't living in a community that looked down on me for not praising jesus.

Fun note - I live maybe 50 yards from what could be the largest church-o-plex i've ever seen in my life.

i grew up with this beast in the home town.

the 'jesus is lord over alvin' bumperstickers and billboards

and the occasional slap in the face from the more zealot christians.
