How would you know such a thing?
You don't. You're just repeating what you've heard or hoping that's what will happen. Maybe it happened to you.
It's a little tongue in cheek. I think atheists are welcome in church as much as anyone else.
Everyone is welcomed. Especially if they drop a little cash in the collection plate.

The beauty is the only thing that tugs at my heart and reminds me why people long to be part of a community and to be forgiven.
Be grateful for Easter Christians.
Easter is a pagan holiday to celebrate fertility. Christians call it Resurrection Sunday, not Easter.
This. Real Christians don’t call it Easter.
Easter Christians is sometimes used as a derisive label for people who only go to church on the biggest holidays.

don’t worry about others. Just worry about you.Anonymous wrote:The National Cathedral was beautiful, with the sunlight shining through the stain glass and the choir singing ancient music.
I wonder how many people there were atheists. Maybe some people in the choir? in the pews?

Odd. All of the clergy I've ever met, including the ones in my family, use the term Easter.
I suspect that by Real Christians, pp means people at the church they attend.

You two still butt hurt about her calling out Trump for his non Christian policies? I bet she has more faith and Christian spirit in her little finger than is in you and your mega church.

Right - a lot of Episcopalians are already non-believers. No one cares.
Including the Bishop herself. She’s totally secular. Hasn’t read the Bible in decades.
So true.

Or people find that one positive thing left to appreciate about the religion they left behind permanently.
