Godless congregations copying Christian churches

The full article may be found here.

As described in the article, the "atheists" [whom I assume are mostly just angry former Roman Catholics], gather for announcements, listen to platitudes about compassion, have their secular politics ratified, and sing innocuous music from the popular realm.

Let's see how many stick around for the passing of the plate.
