Atheism isn't a topic on which to form a community. It's that simple. How do you build a sensible community around the non-belief in something?

This is why this 'church' has tenuous links to atheism. There is a talk by a scientist? That's got little to do with atheism and is there more to reinforce a smug perception that atheism is a synonym for scientist.

This isn't a church for atheists. It's a meeting for young, middle-class, Londoners that like slightly alternative interests. As well, maybe, for people with a slight superiority complex.
