Hypocrisy at its best: Comedians launch UK’s first atheist church

Have you ever wondered why Hollywood is a liberal town; have you ever wondered why liberals make such good actors? Well the answer is simple; it comes naturally to them as every aspect of their being is fantasy; their day to day world is make believe; they’re acting every day.  From the time they wake up in the morning until they hit the pillow, they are living in a utopian-dream-world far removed from any form of rational reality.

The fantasy world of movie making is a natural fit for the liberal; where nothing is real and everything is borrowed. You may have noticed that there is a common theme in all their movies and that is this: ‘the good guy always wins,’ but who exactly the good guy is, is another question.

We all know the liberal-Hollywood good guy is usually a so-called underdog of some sort; this could be a black man, a homosexual, a woman or some other person perceived to be oppressed by the evil white man. A black man is never the bad guy, for example; he is never the criminal when, in fact, statistical reality shows a different picture in the real world.

We’ve all come to expect the Hollywood hypocrisy as in the examples above; we just push it aside as childish, liberal propaganda. However, I find it very offensive when they start borrowing from conservatism; when they portray the tradition family or the American military as the good guy when we all know liberals hate the traditional family and hate the American military; when we know they hate everything conservative. They conveniently borrow from conservatism because there is no liberal alternative; can you imagine fronting a homosexual couple as the traditional-family good guy?

Liberal hypocrisy doesn’t just pertain to movies, it’s everywhere you look and the following Islington-Gazette article is a classic example of this. Atheists, or secular progressives to be more exact, in the UK are about to start an atheist church—yes a church; how conservative is that? Once again, they steal from conservatism because they have nothing to offer of their own. Just as they are stealing the traditional marriage from conservatism, they are now trying to steal the church as well.

You will notice in the first paragraph of the article that they want a place for wedding ceremonies and funerals, etc., for non-believers, but why do they need a church to do that? The next thing on the secular-progressive agenda will be the re-definition of the words ‘church’ and ‘religion.’

I am a tad confused as to what a non-believer would do at a church; would he or she stare at a blank wall? What would the church look like; would it look like this?

Stand up comedians launch UK’s first atheist church in Islington

The first atheist church in the country is set to open in Islington at the start of the new year.

Stand-up comedians Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans will bring together a godless congregation in the Nave in St Paul’s Road, Canonbury for services – with wedding ceremonies and funerals for non-believers even on the cards.

News of the church, which will meet on the first Sunday of every month starting with a service on the Feast of Epiphany on January 6, comes after the census results revealed last week that nearly one in three residents are atheists.

Mr Jones and Ms Evans, a musical improv comedian who had a BBC Radio 4 show called Showstopper, came up with the idea for The Sunday Assembly after agreeing they liked many aspects of religion but didn’t believe in a god.

“We thought it would be a shame not to enjoy the good stuff about religion, like the sense of community, just because of a theological disagreement,” said Mr Jones, who recently became the first person to sell out the Sydney Opera House by personally selling all tickets by hand.

He continued: “It’s part atheist church and part foot-stomping show. There will be a speaker on a theme each month but there will also be an awesome house band, which Pippa will lead. We’ll be helping people try and stick to their new year’s resolutions in the first service.”

The comics will invite speakers to talk on a theme every month, starting with children’s author Andy Stanton, who writes the Mr Gum series, on the topic of beginnings. Future guest speakers include fellow comedians Josie Long, Lucy Porter and Arthur Smith.

Mr Jones added: “We all should be ludicrously excited every single moment to be alive in one of the best countries in the world. If the church becomes a useful place for others, that would be a good thing. We just want people to feel encouraged and excited when they leave.”

But the Rev Saviour Grech, Catholic parish priest of Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church in Amwell Street, Finsbury, said: “How can you be an atheist and worship in a church? Surely it’s a contradiction of terms. Who will they be singing to?

“It is important to debate and engage with atheists but for them to establish a church like any other religious denomination is going too far. I’m cautious about it.” Source
