In concept this would be considered 'a nice try'. To be blunt: Oxymoronic.
As an atheist try to move away from your past. Bringing in old world ways is not moving on from traditions though nice were ritualistic. A church? All the best architecture has been afforded to the believers.. Go ahead and build, we have nature. Bad religion

I have never heard of this and I have a feeling many people haven't either. Given their context, your post makes more sense, but all the religious terminology, even on their site, just rubs me the wrong way. I think the better verbiage is simply "community center" and "discussions." These are the secular terms for things that are not meant to be biased and persuasive.

Some Unitarian churches are non-theistic. I have been to several. In the Sept.com/Oct. 2017 issue of 'Humanist Magazine' there is an article "What's in a Name? All of us" of how, in 1917 the Unitarian Church embraced humanist ideal. Some rented Unitarian churches I had been to would actually remove any overtly religious signs. The music and 'sermons' were secular and there was always a potluck at the end. They freely accepted non-theists and even had some 'atheist' books. As you may know there seems to be a need for people to gather and socialize and this non-religious gathering impulse is often addressed in many areas worldwide. England seems to have a lot of such gatherings.

Scientists don't preach. Philosophers don't preach. Artists don't preach. Poets don't preach.

The only people that preach are religious people and politicians.

Hi,

As you probably know, since you've been doing this since 2011, what you are doing is no easy thing for various reasons. Props to you for starting this and attempting to form a community of atheists/agnostics/skeptics/free thinkers. Most would go alone at this and you are trying to form a community of like-minded people.

With that said, there are some obvious ways to improve your idea. First is not use any Christian-esque or religious sounding language like "congregation" or "Minister". You don't want theists any grounds for saying that what you are talking about is essentially a faith, from their perspective. Because, of course, you aren't proposing a different faith, but an alternative to faith. So Atheistic Minister is a term that doesn't help your cause.

Another thing I would think about is the language you use and make sure it doesn't sound like that of a religion. Instead of "preach atheism", maybe say "talk atheism?" Talk sounds more informal and conversational as if between friends, instead of lecturing and what you hear at church on Sunday.

Someone said anti-religion religion. One way of avoiding this label is by encouraging comparative religious studies of the various world religions. You aren't acting like religions don't exist, but you recognize this and honestly, compassionately, respectfully, and reasonably try to study the world's religions. You can't be accused of the anti-religion religion label if you encourage your free thinker community to study all religions. A good start is Stepehn Prothero's God Is Not One.

One last thought I will share with you is how do you feel about the atheists who want to go at it alone and don't spend more than 30 seconds thinking about their lack of belief? Those might not be the type you are looking to attend your gathering of free thinkers, since they won't contribute much. Or they might.

I have more thoughts but I've already made this reply long enough, feel free to message me if you wish.

Preach sovereignty and respect (for yourself and others).

We should be able to own our own land, grow our own food, build our own houses and decide our policies as local groups. Preach against satellite dictatorship in the guise of 'capitalist democracy'. Preach for the personal verification of information and against advertising. Preach ingenuity and discovery, self-customization and harmony with our surroundings. Preach personal power and capability. Preach against absolutes, that to everything there is a season, preach awareness and practicality. Preach owning your mistakes.

Spare me. You are creating an anti-religion religion? I left religion to escape the pressure of "true believer" congregations . And you are trying to create a new anti-religion dogma and creed? There is no way that your claim to be an atheist minister is legitimate. I reject ministers of all kinds.
