I have been saying that they were a whacky religion for years, this proves it.

If they start a church then they shouldn't teach it in schools.

I fully support open-air preaching, and cannot find reason to give Christianity preferential treatment in that regard. Bring your ideas to the public square. Let's debate them.

Does this mean we can stop teaching their origin myth as it were actual science?

They just want the good parking when they go to hospitals to visit their friends.

Read the first amendment. Specifically the parts about free speech and free exercise of religion.

The one thing binding every FCA minister is his or her belief in science, reason, and reality.

The First Church of Atheism wants you to pursue and cherish your realistic beliefs without interference from any outside agency, including government or church authority. We provide our service for free, as we believe it is every atheists right to perform these clergy functions.

I kinda flip-flop on who is more annoying: the sanctimonious, convinced-of-their-inerrancy thumpers or the sanctimonious, convinced-of-their-inerrancy heathens. At the moment, it's the former, but, in general, I wish a plague on both their houses.

This. It can be highly entertaining, too. When I went to the University of Kentucky back in the '80s, there was a "free speech" zone where a real fire-and-brimstone street preacher would go off. He had his wife with him who was a former stripper and porn actress, and she billed herself as a "born-again virgin". She would point at random people walking by and yell things like "YOU LOOK LIKE A FORNICATOR! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!!!!", "YOU LOOK LIKE A DRUGGIE! YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!", "YOUR HAIR'S TOO LONG! (to a guy) YOU'RE GOING TO HELL!"

that particular church seems pretty stupid, but more power to them.

If you want a church compatible with science, reason, and reality I'd recommend the Catholic Church.

For me, it pretty much depends on which camp initiated the troll thread I'm posting in. It goes both ways.

As long as churches that worship a deity are allowed special status, I fully support churches that worship guns, or science being treated the same.

Where do I sign up?

OP is so unhappy with his life that he makes it his job to cry about atheists on here all the time.
He is no better than the stupid militant atheists that he gets constantly butt hurt about.

As long as we correctly (and finally) classify Islam as a political ideology and not a religion, okay.

Yup, those atheists are such religious nuts. What's next, people worshiping food? Too bad the OP is so blinded by his own beliefs that he fails to see the humor and irony in the web page.
