More than 200 people have packed into what is claimed to be the first atheist "church" in Britain.
The gathering, called the Sunday Assembly, is held in a former church in Islington, north London.
Members of a Christian church next door said they had no problem with their new neighbours.
Gareth Furby spoke to Sanderson Jones, who leads the Sunday Assembly, and Bishop Harrison Onyekwere, from the Bible Church of God's Praise.

As much as the concept of an "athiest church" troubles me, I am intrigued enough to go along some time to see what it's all about. Perhaps armed with some leaflets how the gods were made perhaps.The positive of this of course is the social organization of workers an act of community in our increasingly isolated society.
