Still looking for a Church to attend today, why not go to an atheist church? This group has been meeting in London on Sunday mornings and try to mimic most Sunday services, so if you want your ears tickled, why not? Founded by two comedians, Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans (picture posted). Now if you ever gone to the UK, I must say those big cathedrals are dead and filled with dead bones. Those colossal buildings are a mere museum, so I can understand why this will grow there. The last time I was preaching in downtown London a number of young kids stood around and watched our preaching. I was told by many, they never seen it done that way. One night the police almost arrested me and it was two atheists who stood up and told the officers that my accuser lied. After much debate, the police left and we continued. Like most Churches they accept everyone, as this Sunday Assembly denies any backsliding or apostasy, and argues that, by not focusing on ‘the atheist community’, it is merely trying to be as inclusive as possible. No sin is preached at this atheist church, because one has no belief in God. There is no creed This is not a mega Church as this group meets in Conway Hall, an art deco building in Holborn dedicated to free-thinking that has hosted many ‘alternative’ organizations over the past 90 years, from the British Humanist Society to the National Front. There is a stall in the foyer selling pamphlets with serious titles and drab covers, as well as magnetic finger puppets of ‘Great Thinkers of the World’ Einstein; Freud; Frida Kahlo; Sherlock Holmes. If you like worship music, this service starts with the Pointer Sisters’ ‘I’m So Excited’ projected on to the back wall. At the prompting of Sanderson Jones, the charismatic leader, everyone stands up and sings along to the small band on stage. Most clap their hands; many are swaying, holding their hands in the air and, during the instrumental section, where the lyrics are replaced with the words ‘Jumping Break’, some do start jumping. After the worship service Sanderson jumps up and reads world literature and science fiction, as the ears love to hear the words from ‘Star Wars’ ‘ The Fight to Survive’ and ‘The Fifth Element.’ And of course, there is a collection as you leave and feel good about yourself. This service is not just in the UK but now has branches in 28 cities across the English-speaking world, with more on their way. It appears satan wishes to emulate everything God does and this service is no different. Maybe this will help recognize atheists as a religion.
