Atheist Church and Doctrines

A typical atheist with tell you that they are NOT a religion and thus have NO doctrine. Well, consider these:

Here is a partial list of some atheist, agnostic, and pantheist religions.

1.Virus

They have a list of atheist "saints"; Charles Darwin is one.

2. Scientific Pantheism

The one by Paul Harrison

3. The Swedish Pantheist Society

4. The Agnostic Church

5. The Society for Humanistic Judaism

6. The Positivist Church of Brazil

7. The Universal Church Triumphant of the Apatheitic Agnostic

Their motto is, "We don't know and we don't care."

8. The North Texas Church of Freethought

9. The First Church of Atheism

This exists to ordain men to perform secular weddings, funerals, etc.

I realize these aren't all atheist, but they got religion.

They say they are wise, but they are fools; (Romans 1:22)

Some of the doctrines (values) of The North Texas Church of Freethought:

We advance evidence and reason over tradition and superstition as the best tools we have available to come to know, understand, and appreciate ourselves and the beautiful and amazing Universe in which we live.

And their mission statement:

"To promote and advance, as a moral imperative, the unfettered power of thought over belief, of reason over faith, of facts over revelation and superstition, and of knowledge over dogmas and doctrines, especially in matters of religion and religious opinion. In so doing, the NTCOF intends to safeguard these important elements of human interest and experience from the stranglehold of tradition, the dangers of authority, and the unthinking grasp of established belief, as well as from the prejudices and intolerances engendered by them, in order to address the human need for understanding within both the categories of public, social, and objective truth, and of personal, individual, and subjective insight and self discovery."

Their pastor(?) is Tim Gorski

Some of their "saints" include:

1. Richard Dawkins
2. Penn Jillette
3. Sam Harris
4. Ibn Warraq
5. Dan Barker
6. Christopher Hitchens
7. Robert Ingersoll
8. Carl Sagan
9. Ann Druyan

Because those people refuse to keep in mind the true knowledge about God, he has given them over to corrupted minds, so that they do the things that they should not do. (Romans 1:28)

All this sounds pretty religious to me. I'll follow the Lord Jesus Christ.
