Here is another link that might help people find a group. [holykoolaid.com]

There is Oasis. They only have a few locations though. Atheist group like church. I went once down in Houston and liked it. It was just too far for me to drive.

The RELIGIOUS Christians, would burn it down!!! Maybe, later on or continue to be 'low-key' and pass and repass...everything does not need to be visible, to have even great value...I have never seen my DNA!

There is such s place. Unitarian Universalist

Since leaving religion some 60 years ago, I have enjoyed NOT feeling obligated to go to some meeting place on Sunday. I would much rather have the day to myself to spend as I wish.

I've wondered why we have no atheist/agnostic charter schools. Humanist sponsored. I have heard of church like meet ups for non-believers somewhere a few years back. No memory no more...

I agree, the closest I found to one is the Unitarian Universalist fellowship. I met many atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and others like wicans who also joined.

we do. Its called agnostic.com

Non believers don't need a church; we need a growing, connected, visible, forthright, global community of people who stand against all enemies of reason, including religions.

here is just fine

I was going to say the library, but somebody beat me to it.

For me, just the thought of going to any kind of church puts me in a state of dread. I had such a bad experience with the whole church thing that I want nothing to do with it.

Great idea im all for it!

Too many reminders of real church. I don’t want to feel pressure to go regularly (I will when I want to and am able). I don’t want to feel coerced to tithe or donate (I will when I want to and am able).

I do enjoy my Meetup groups, philosophy gatherings, and secular book clubs. They provide me with what I need—friendship, a sense of belonging, and a “safe space” (and I can go when I want to and donate whenever I’m able, without pressure).

Thought it might be because of death threats and fire bombing.

I'll be the third to say it. Unitarian Universalists (UU) are almost by definition an agnostic bunch. They have definite church structure, with building, sanctuary, Sunday services and such, but no formal doctrine to accept on faith. Instead they have a set of principles designed to help members on their personal spiritual exploration, as well as helping people get along with others.

As to your question of "why," I would say why they aren't well known or widely attended has to do with questions of motivation. Oddly enough, fear of eternal donation tends to get butts into church. I think agnostics like the "idea" of community fellowship more than the reality of disciplined schedules and giving up casual weekend free-time.

There are atheist "churches". I would imagine the agnostics could do the same.

Check out Unitarian Universalist Church and Meetups.com for gaming groups and social connections where you live.

The issue is most (all?) churches are based on a community who believe in God, and some sort of specific take on the bible. It seems illogical to me for a community to gather based on believing in nothing of the sort. We have an "anti" belief. Church life is a social structure believers have a corner on, with the architecture, customs, hymns, sermons, bible studies... Emulating that kind of socializing is pining for the old times. IMHO.

Non believers do things like join a chess club, or volunteer, or adopt a highway. Again, my opinion, not yours.

We’re agnostic. Why would we need a church?

There is a group in a nearby city that meets on Sunday mornings usually at a pizza shop to talk. You could always try to start something like that where you live!

It's called the local bar

This IS that place, anything else might get complicated... schedules, “clicks”, passing notes... oops, I mean texting. The more I think about... some right wing, fundamentalist christian may burn us out for having so much fun with our clothes on... it could happen. (jajaja)

We'd still have to tithe 10% of our income. I can talk to you fine people here for free.
