These people want to be heard but they have nothing to say! Wow, does this make sense? I find it amusing that these "non-believers" have no religion or a need to proclaim their beliefs in the community, yet they are building a church of their own. How ironic. Some will say its not a church, and yes call it by a different name, but when it all comes down to it these people are gathering to discuss religion and God.
I have no problem with the fact that some people dont believe in God, Because I know they will someday!

I try not to besmurch the holy faithful too much but come on, the religious stories of miracles and resurrections and such are for children. Either you grow out of such nonseical beliefs or you remain stuck in a spiritual world that is all too often void of any spirituality and instead drown in religious fervor. Having given up my Christian faith many years back I now understand what Jesus really represents and I am a much better person spiritually than I could have ever been holding to a religious doctrine that is so fuzzy in its dictate {the bible, the Koran, the Torah} that it is beyond understanding. I have learned it is much better, and easier, to follow what Jesus represents {WWJD} that it is to have 'faith' in unseeable deity that is more like an angry father than he is a loving God. And I can look at other spiritual concepts without guilt and learn so much more about the spiritual soul. Christians, Jews, Muslims talk a good game but when it comes to walking the walk, well Jesus would be heart broken to see how religious folk live in this day and age. Faith without deeds is about as good as a car without gas. You may look good on the outside but inside you are empty, without true spiritual understanding, being led by the nose by religious dogma that is myth. If one could only understand what Luke Skywalker really meant by using the 'Force' there would be a true spiritual 'ncommunity' where everyone is accepted as human being and not as an 'unbeliever'. But alas, the dark side works in mysterious ways and probably the darkest is to be found in religious dogma. I challenge anyone to compare their spiritual deeds to mine. I may lack the faith but my actions are much more closer to what WWJD is than 90% of the so called faithful. God is a force of nature beyond good and evil. But more important is that I have learned God is a 'force' of nature, period. The rest is pure myth.

You confuse a Supreme Court ruling with the US Constitution.

Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle". George Washington. I realize that it might be a stretch to conclude that George Washington existed. After all, I haven't personally seen him.
No one is claiming that George Washington is alive, is active in our daily lives or holds the key to afterlife.
Stay relevent. . .

I can't believe that my parents actually brainwashed me into believing in god.
I find athiests to be more morally concerned about society than the godlovers. Where a godlover will pray for help (and do nothing else) an athiest will get up and do something for themself.

I hate to break it to you but I am an Athiest and my life is full and happy. Instead of wasting my energy trying to please a god and get into heaven I am free to enjoy the life I have and do the most with it.
