Now we have well known atheists suggesting that to try and raise some
public interest in atheism they should build temples, and COPY religion
in other ways!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHA
But other atheists are way ahead of them:
- Claiming atheism IS a religion (Dawkin's claim is clearly part of
this OFFICIAL atheist push to become more relevant and acceptable:
# It's Official, Atheists claim to be a persecuted RELIGION: B^D
#
#
# "THE Atheist Foundation of Australia has lodged complaints
# of religious discrimination in Melbourne and Hobart
#
# "atheism counts as a religion, Dr Perkins said."
# - The Age
- and Bukakke has built an Atheist Altar to worship Profit Dawkin's
atheist God's;
Ah, no thanks, as a rational agnostic, ..
.. what? ...Spell it?
sure, I like to teach athesits new words, that's R-A-T-I-O-N-A-L,
I would rather hang myself with an eel than worship these stupid
atheist Demons mating with Goats on Bukakke's Altar of Anal Atheism
in Alain de Bottom's "Temple to Atheist Hubris" !
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA
"Alain de Botton's atheist temple is a nice idea, but a defunct one"

"De Botton's atheist temple call does not need to be realised
– our existing places of worship can be appreciated by all"
Of course, they give inspiration not only to believers,
but as the atheists plan to IMITATE religion shows, they
are also the (only) creative source for the dull, unoriginal,
atheist sheep who follow! B^]
"Alain de Botton has reinvigorated the conversation on religion."
Well, clearly atheism has nothing to talk about, and has to
'borrow' from the creative theists! B^D
"His new book moves away from the tedious debates of recent years
to a more reflective consideration of the role of religion in sustaining
values many people share."
And that was an excellent realisation on the part of one of the
most intelligent atheists on the planet, that religion provides
enormous inspiration to mankind, soaring beauty, magnificent music
art and architecture, spiritual values and experiences with which
people can connect... and he acknowledges that atheism lacks all
of that.
"Religion as a human phenomenon is too vast, pervasive and complicated
to be discussed in simple binary terms of belief and unbelief."
Absolutely. And that is the problem for atheists, the PAUCITY of
their intellectual life and their contribution to the community,
to the human spirit, to civilisation and to mankind.
"The evangelical atheists of the past few years may not be notable
for sceptical doubt, but religious practitioners are often quite
uncertain in their beliefs. De Botton is writing for the sceptics,
whether they belong in any religion or not. It's a welcome shift of focus.
Atheists who aren't bigoted enemies of religion will agree
that it has made many positive contributions."
You won't find many of those, certainly not among the rabid,
violent, hate filled militant atheists such as the BAAWA beastie
boys, or the mindless atheist sheep in alt.atheism
"They are less likely to accept that they should have a religion of
their own – complete with a temple in the City – as de Botton goes on to
propose. Establishing atheist places of worship isn't exactly a new
idea. As de Botton himself notes, an ambitious programme of atheist
church-building was part of the Religion of Humanity, invented by the
19th-century French thinker Auguste Comte."
Atheists are "The Men who Come Behind" - Henry Lawson
"An obsessive and at times unbalanced personality, Comte – a fervent
believer in phrenology, like many atheists at the time – developed an
elaborate daily ritual that included tapping the forehead at the points
where science had supposedly located the impulses of progress, altruism
and order. He also created a "virgin mother of humanity", based on a
married woman whom he had fallen in love with. When she died, he
appointed her grave a place of pilgrimage."
Atheism doesn't change much, does it! B^D
"Such eccentricities were not destined to last, but a number of atheist
temples were established – not only in Paris, Comte's base, but in Rio
de Janeiro, New York, Liverpool and London, where a church of humanity
opened on Lamb's Conduit Street in 1870. In line with Comte's creed,
these were temples where disciples could worship the new supreme being –
humanity. As far as I know, none of the buildings is used for religious
purposes today, though the Brazilian church seems to have been active
until some time late in the 20th century.
None of the atheist 'eccentricities' are destined to last! B^p
"When he proposes building a temple for unbelievers, de Botton is
reinventing a wheel that never really turned. The fad for atheist
temples lasted for perhaps 60 years, while places of worship dedicated
to something bigger than humanity have been around for many millennia.
There is a nice irony here. For all his loony notions, Comte was more
intelligent than most of the atheists who came after him. He saw clearly
that religion is an enduring human need that cannot be denied. Yet
despite the formative influence it had on writers and philosophers such
as George Eliot and John Stuart Mill, Comte's religion of humanity
disappeared leaving hardly a trace – just a handful of sites, whose
history as places of worship practically nobody remembers.
Even if Comte's church was ephemeral, he was right in predicting that
religion would not die out."

"The world is awash with formless religiosity, much of it flowing
through non-traditional channels. During most of the last century,
politics was the principal vehicle for religion. Communism and
the cult of the free market are examples of large, flimsy ideas
being turned into articles of faith."
And it has been the SECULAR ideologies, Fascism, Atheistic Communism,
Colonialism, Nazism, etc which have been FAR MORE DEADLY than any
religion!
"Today, faith is more often channelled through science. Not only the
pseudo-science of crop circle enthusiasts and UFO cultists, but genuine
advances in science and technology are being used to promote hopes and
dreams that are quintessentially religious."
See Dyson on the fantasy of humans evolving into Gods! B^D
"People who believe that the human mind can be uploaded into virtual
space and so be immune to death are recycling the fantasies of
19th-century spiritualists, who also argued that their beliefs were
based on science.
Comte wanted his new religion to be based on science, so the temples of
humanity pointed only as far as science could reach. That is why his new
church failed. The very idea of a science-based religion is an
absurdity. The value of religion is that it points beyond anything that
can be known by the methods of science, showing us that a mystery would
remain even if everything could be finally explained. The heart of
religion isn't belief, but something more like what Keats described as
negative capability: "being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without
any irritable reaching after fact and reason".
Rather than trying to invent another religion surrogate, open-minded
atheists should appreciate the genuine religions that exist already."
Amen to that! B^D
"London is full of sites – churches, synagogues, mosques and other
places of worship – that are evocative of something beyond the human
world. Better spend the money that is being raised for the new temple on
religious buildings that are in disrepair than waste it on a monument to
a defunct version of unbelief."
Excellent article, absolute common sense.
Atheism has NEVER been more RIDICULOUS! B^D
