Don't you mean Flying Spaghetti Monster? Or is that a different sect?

Ahh this is good. Ok thanks. I’ll check it out.

There are a bunch in close-in MoCo, too: Cedar Lane, River Road, Silver Spring. I grew up going to Cedar Lane and appreciate the community and religious education I received there. If I had to go to church now, it would be UU.

https://ethicalsociety.org Yes -- the washington Ethical society is a good place for atheists who want a community and someplace to go on Sunday Mornings and a place for their kids to hang out with other kids of parents who don't practice a religion that worships a supernatural being.

OP is not asking for conversion to Christianity, but DCUM offers plenty of opportunities,

St Marks Episcopal on Capitol Hill is full of atheists -- the former priest was a non-believer.

However, they do the regular Episcopalian service and now have a pastor who is a believer.

St. Columba's in Tenley DC also has a fair share of non-believers and no one cares what you believe -- and they have lots of activities.

Ya know, the fact that you feel a call for this community and feeling part of something bigger is God’s work. Just try being open to it.

there are plenty of communities that are not related to belief in god -- neighborhoods, schools, political groups, chess clubs, book clubs, sports, etc.

Then why, one might ask, is OP specifically asking for a church?

perhaps because that's what OP typically calls a place you go to on Sunday's with your family

Actually, you can get a veg platter at some steakhouses -- presumably for vegetarians who are going with a group of meat eaters.

I love how all the evangelicals on here are aghast at the possibility that there might even be such a place as a church for atheists. They can't fathom it! But look at all of the recommendations that OP has gotten. Must not be so preposterous after all, huh?
