I have never made fun of, or belittled people who are religious. In my opinion atheism is not a religion (this from wikipedia - "Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deites. In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists")
Whether this article - http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013...n_2423590.html is a spoof or not, it appears these people are not out to do anybody any harm -
"It is championed as chance for disillusioned former believers, nostalgic atheists and anybody searching for a sense of community, to meet and "turn good intentions into action."
With the tag line 'live better, help often, wonder more' the brainchild has the pastoral aims of provoking kindness and encouraging people to volunteer in their local community"
I can't see how that's a bad thing.
