This reads like something out of the Onion. A schism has already developed in the much ballyhooed atheist church:

My favorite line is this:
Can it get any more rich than that??
Of course, the whole idea is not one revolving around the lack of a belief in God, but an ideological belief that there is no God. That is why the so-called "New Atheists" all sound like a bunch of fundamentalist yahoos for the other side. Most folks who don't believe in God do not need to go to some building to celebrate their disbelief: they just stay home and watch TV. I happen not to ski, but the thought of going to some building to drink hot cocoa with other non-skiers strikes me as quite mad. The fact that this "church" split tells me that there are beliefs involved. So when does the atheist ecumenical movement start?

My favorite line is this:
Moore promises that his group, Godless Revival, will be more firmly atheistic than the Sunday Assembly, which he now dismisses as “a humanistic cult.”
