Yet here in 2013, in one of the most secular and intellectually rich nations of the world, they’re reduced to stealing millennia-old ideas from organizations they despise as being “backwards”.
it seems to me that what they're doing is explicitly acknowledging that religious organizations have positive community impact and they are attempting to organize in such a way that reuses traditions from churches without having to found them on god. the alternative would be what, trying to de-god existing religion from within?
it's too bad for them I suppose that in the process they are making you feel embarrassed. perhaps if you tell them about it they'll offer you a cookie
do you think thats what the meetings will actually be like. i think it's probably obese awkward atheists smugly aping religious traditions while winking ironically. best case scenario it's like a meet-up for ardent atheists to talk about their atheism which i can't imagine much that's more noxious

If anything about it is actually ironic in practice then yes burn the whole thing down or if the focus is "aren't we special let's talk about how great atheism is"
so I guess I'm defending the ideal case of everyone is totally sincere and just there to discuss community issues and maybe current events and maybe some sort of humanist moral viewpoint on things and then sing a dumb song and eat some sandwiches after. which is still probably pretty dumb but doesn't seem prima facie totally reprehensible or anything

Yes I’m sure a bunch of north London comedian atheists are starting their own ‘church’ in a way that is completely free of winking irony.
