In the company I work in Serbia (I am not sure if it is about the state law or just corporate practice) I get two days of payed leave, and an additional day - for baptism ! Of course, probably some other similiar religious acts get this kind of treatment, but if you are an atheist, your child will be having you spent a day less with family, at home. So, it is something I do not want to make jokes about, first church of atheism has freed my mind ! I am was now legally able to use this extra day and spend my quality time wiht my family ! The least I could do is get ordained, and help myself and my family - and maybe even some other people …

Dear people, congrats and all my respect for embracing reason over an Invisible Man in the Sky and a talking snake… but why in the world would you want to imitate a church? And perform ceremonies?

Seriously, not meaning to be a troll or anything, but I am really, truly baffled by all this. In my mind, all that you (well, or “we”, since by subscribing, I became a part of this) will accomplice is convince theists that “atheism is a belief”. Which, of course, it is not, it simply is a lack of one.

But I am curious to see how this FCA will develop, and I wish you the best of luck

I’m sorry to announce that we have had our first catastrophe here at the First Church of Atheism.

We had a database error that deleted almost all of our minister list and profiles. We have a system in place that backs up all changes to the database every 24 hours. It saves everything to a separate hard drive, in a different computer, in a completely different location. Until now, we thought the system was near foolproof. We didn’t discover until too late that our back up hard drive went bad. It was saving the changes, but the information that was saved is unreadable. Completely corrupt and useless. The unfortunate consequence of this is that we no longer have a complete list of our ordained ministers, and almost everyone’s profile has been deleted.

What does this mean for our ministers?

The Truth is the idea held by those with the most influence. The Truth in itself is not what is important because obviously, the Truth can change overnite with a new discovery or advance, or rejection of such previous ideas thought to be the Truth.

What is paramount to the Truth is the motivation of the ones claiming to hold it.

I do not condemn Christians for wanting to save unborn babies. I do not condemn women who want to use abortion as birth control.

Both have the right to think what they want.
