Comparative Religions 101 Guidelines

Welcome to Comp Religions, this is where the sights and sounds of the many world religions come together in a big World's Fair type atmosphere, without those delicious funnel cakes.

World Religions is a theist only type place, but that does not exclude certain religionists who practice non-theistic faiths ala Buddhism. If you are not sure, ask a moderator.

This is not a place where we argue the existence / non-existence of God.

And as usual, the forum rules apply.

    Atheist 'mega-churches' take root across US, world

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — It looked like a typical Sunday morning at any mega-church. Several hundred people, including families with small children, packed in for more than an hour of rousing music, an inspirational talk and some quiet reflection. The only thing missing was God.

      So many potential historical in-jokes, I don't know where to start.

      Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast.

        No joke we could make has as much humor or irony as the group (now groups) in question have unconsciously given themselves.

          Amen to that.

            I do not think this is new nor the first atheist institution. American Atheists formed in 1963.
