Reply #8: An organized atheist movement having every aspect of a religion but a God would be

[Occam Bandage]

a fantastic thing for this country. Atheism has difficulty attracting otherwise-receptive people on two fronts: people would miss their church/religious community, and they appreciate the moral clarity of their church. For atheism to flex political muscle as a movement, it needs to be a true social movement and not simply a collection of individuals.
