Do atheists have a church they go to?

Question

not to be offensive or n e thing... but do they?

Answer 1

At least you spelled atheists correctly.

As for the rest... *sigh*

I guess I could point out that many Buddhists are atheists.

Answer 2

Not a church as such. It's a library. It has more than one book in it, so you can tell the difference.

Answer 3

Atheism is an absence of belief in deities/gods, or any supernatural forces that could serve to guide man through life. I don't really see how they would gather in a place to discuss their disbelief of anything metaphysical...

Answer 4

yes its called Yahoo Answers and alot of preachers there.

Answer 5

I don't think so but maybe they should christens need to confirm there belief in God maybe Atheists should confirm there dis belief in God, I am sure there is a lot of material  they could  preach about and maybe do ungodly things etc.they could maybe have Atheists dating sights it could become a big thing ya never know..

Answer 6

no because they don't believe in God. Even if they believed in withcraft or something they would still be called an atheist.

so.. no

Answer 7

no, of course not, an athiest is somebody who doesnt belive in an type of godly figure, or "thism". no offense bro, but stupid question

Answer 8

Of course, and all the ignorant idiots in the world know that.  We also have a Bable, pray and have virgin sacrifices

Answer 9

it's called Scientology

Answer 10

Probably, but mostly they avoid each other.  Atheists are rugged individualists.  Like Baptists in liquor store, they pretend not to see each other.  

Answer 11

I go to Moab.

Answer 12

No.

But my wife and I have been considering visiting the Unitarian Church, just to meet some people.  We just moved to a new town.

No, why would they, they believe in no God and no religion. Why is there any use for a particular place to congregate?

Answer 16

No, most atheists don't have an equivalent of a church as they don't need to congregate somewhere to worship something. I am an atheist and I did attend a Unitarian Universalist church a few times as an atheist because I was looking for a group to do community service projects with. They were fine with my atheist/humanist stance and welcomed me to join their service project volunteer work. I embraced their general philosophy and values and was invited by some members and went out of respect. Not quite the same thing though people are thinking of when they say do atheists have a church I think. I am aware that there is a small number of atheists that formed a sort of equivalent as place to meet with like minded people to discuss philosophy, values and ethics, provide a venue and community for life transition rituals like non religious funerals, weddings, etc. , and to provide a group place to provide moral lessons and ethical discussions for children and enable them in a peer setting. Its not really a church to me though as to me the definition of a church is a place people go to worship something or practice a religion which they don't do. I guess it semantics.  

Answer 17

No, not traditionally.

Answer 18

Yes, definitely. But if you're not an atheist, I can't tell you.

Answer 19

Some do

Answer 20

counterintuitively, there are some freethinker and unitarian churches that cater toward people who are not religious. they are not really churches in the sense you would think though. it's more like they offer the social aspects of church without the religious worship.

Answer 21

I wouldn't think so because a church is usually made up of people with the same or common values and beliefs. All that atheists share in common is the belief there is no god(s). Other then that they believe whatever they want. You have to remember atheism is not a religion.

Answer 22

Being atheists they don't go to church, but they all don't-go to the same church.  Some don't go to the Catholic church, some don't go to the Protestant church.  They all stay home, but they are staying home from different churches. Really hardcore atheists will stay home from more than one church but that's a lot of work.

Answer 23

Something kind of like a church.. It's not necesarilly called a church

Answer 24

Simply put... they don't =/

Because they don't have any belief in God.

So why would they even have a place of worship if they don't have anything to worship to begin with?

If a person was antagonistic... then that would be a different story because they don't believe in God but they aren't denying his whole entire existence at the same time but doesn't mean they wont go to church.

Answer 25

No as why would someone need to go to Church to worship nothing. (In case you didn't know, an Atheist is someone who believes in nothing what-so-ever) Church is to worship at the end of the day.

Answer 26

They belong to the church of the dead.

Answer 27

No, atheism is not a religion. It is an idea of there being no higher power. Atheists don't go to church or worship anything.

Answer 28

Wow you are an idiot.  But keep searching, you'll find it

Answer 29

No, they don't have that kind of discipline.

They lazily sit at their computers, bashing innocent questions such as this and blame other faiths for any transgressions they may have had with people in a former time....

Answer 30

no, an atheist is a person with a lack of belief in religion, so they really have nothing to do with it. i dont find your question offensive at all, but thanks for saying that (:

Answer 31

Yes their called catholic !
