Atheist Temple: Nonbelievers To Get Place Of ‘Worship’ In UK

Source: thehuffingtonpost.com

Atheists have long criticised devout followers of faith. But now it seems Atheism is stealing from that very religious tradition by erecting a temple of worship.

Author Alain de Botton announced plans to build an Atheist temple in the U.K., reports DeZeenmagazine.

A collaboration with Tom Greenall Architects, the structure will be built in the heart of London.

Dedicated to the idea of perspective, the black tower will scale 46 meters (150 ft), with each centimeterhonoring earth’s age of 4.6 billion years, notes Wired.

But a place of worship isn’t the only attribute from organized religion that Atheists can benefit from, says de Botton. In his newly released book“Religion For Atheists,” the author points to design, art and community to inspire and attract a following.

Though de Botton has yet to announce a final date for opening the temple, he hopes to create a network of such buildings across the U.K., according to ArtsInfo.

    These atheists are so sad. I agree with the tooth fairy analogy. If u don’t believe…sit down somewhere and live your.life. I’m tired of all the noise they’re making and don’t want to give them much more of my attention, but I suppose as followers of Christ, we should be aware of what the enemy is doing.

  2. In Love with Jesus says:

    this is one of the funniest things i ever heard in my life! Ahahahaha!

  3. Renee says:

  7. Ra`ymond says:

  8. Tricia says:

  9. maurice says:

    This is the time as we know it in this lifetime in everyday life we are faced we many many things that are both good and bad. We must continue to trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus. No matter what we must forgive them even though at times they act like they no not what they do in life..

  10. mt says:

    im perplexed here, what is there to worship if they worship nothing and nobody? but i think that question was already asked, think whoever came up with this mess may be on heavy meds, sounds stupid to me, but heyyyy

  11. Bonita says:

    raised eyebrow…… with a slight smirk.

  12. Caitlin says:

    SpiritOfDumb

  13. someguy says:

    This is more than the spirit of dumb. This is the ultimate end time impartation of dumb.

  14. askduane says:

    Which is better calling it an “Atheist Temple” or “Non-Denomination Church”? Or Baptist, Methodist, or the other 20,000 different names under the guise of Christian. I know a few Baptist Church Preachers that stopped believing a long time ago, it’s all about the money and social programs that are Government Sponsored, see these are Atheist Temples also, they just open the bible sometimes, because they have to in order to qualify for the funds but they are not real Christian.

    You can spot them very easy. Some are Big Mega Churches with big food pantries, and Hugh social programs for the welfare. It’s a combination of Government Money and so called tithes from the congregation.

  15. Camille says:

    Smh Oh so we crazy for worshipping Jesus but they worship nothing its dumb dumb dumb Jesus hurry Back soon!!!!

  16. Elder Charles says:

    These people are going to worship the following: self; the earth; life; humanity and hope. They will worship every nice, attractive motivational object. In themselves, exalted above the Creator of all things, these focal points are doorways to Satan-worship. In short, the black temples, taking after the colour of the Church of Satan, are places of demon-worship whether atheists like it or not. The true colours of atheism are now emerging.

  17. just me says:

    Atheist teen girl sues school to have prayer removed.

  18. nathaniel b says:

    This is dumb. How do you build a place of worship when you don’t believe in anything to begin with?! Dumb!!

    • ian says:

      any one seen the mike hoggard video on you tube, about the number 46 representing the 23 pairs of chromazones where dna is kept. this number appears all over the place in false religions.

  19. Janet says:

    If they are atheists, why would they build something that believers use for worship. Who will they worship, themselves?

  20. Pato says:

    As the great Charleton Heston-said in The Planet of the Apes”This is a mad house! A mad house!!

  21. Re' Solomon says:

    Okay…..as I would say in a boring briefing that has no task, purpose or standard worth remembering: NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

  22. joao paulo says:

    i thought atheists wanted to be free? Going to the temple will take a commitment of such! Ah ah ah, contradiction.

  23. Travz91 says:

    woooow whats happening to my good old U.K. (Sighs)

  24. Stan Rogers says:

    What we have to realize is that their plan to turn the hearts of men from God didn’t work so now they have to incorporate some form of worship to fit in. The problem is that they are contradicting what they have been teaching since their existence, I can’t wait to hear how they explain their way out of this one.

  25. Kim Worthy says:

    Lol, interesting to know what songs they’ll sing.

    • Not Detained Anymore! says:

      Maybe Kirk Franklin could sing at their opening…lol On the other hand, watch how many celebrities come out to support it, should be interesting.

  26. BT says:

    He probably is thinking no different than the mega church leaders !
    TEMPLE = PEOPLE = BUSINESS = MONEY MAKER

  27. Charles says:

    The Athiest Temple doctrine will be:
    There is no god
    There is no heaven or hell
    The bible is false
    Salvation is what you make of it on earth.

  28. Releasing_the_Chains says:

    Why don’t they just call it the Reprobate Worship Center??? SMH…
    Romans 1:28-32

  29. ivan says:

    i dont have enough faith to be an Atheist

  30. Taura Helms says:

    Foolishness.

  31. Shafarr Savoy says:

    They are worshipping themselves. You do not fillow God you follow you and satan.

  32. theresa woolridge says:

    Worship!!!…..lol

  33. theresa woolridge says:

    Why are they trying 2 get Attention!!…this maks no sense

    • Rhonda says:

      It makes perfect sense, erect a temple where all who believe like you can come and worship darkness. There is strength in unity even when that thing that unites is evil or not of God, remember the tower of Babel? Satan knows exactly what he is doing I hope and pray we who are true believers are as passionate, fired up and sold out as these are! They have plan and they are working for there God in unity, we need to take a few notes and tear down the walls that divide us. This makes a lot of sense, the world is looking for something spiritual, and the devil is more then happy to serve it up, wake up CHURCH!

  34. ERIC MORST says:

    ROUSE! IT IS A TEMPLE FOR SATAN. The public acceptance is not great enough to allow for a black tower to be built for that purpose yet. This is how they wish to get it done. EVIL EVIL EVIL

    • Sherry says:

      Eric, excuse me, but I beg to differ..the public acceptance is definitely great and wide enough in this area to build a black tower in which to worship the dark side, there is great confusion spreading over the land..Soldiers, armor up..we are in battle!

  35. Brother Holden says:

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth….(Gen. 1:1)

    This article says that they are “Dedicated to the idea of perspective, the black tower will scale 46 meters (150 ft), with each centimeter honoring earth’s age of 4.6 billion years, notes Wired.”

    Hmmm, honoring the age of the earth, but they claim to not believe in the God (the Father) who is the creator of earth.

    As Elder G. Craig says, the spirit of dumb! The dumb thing about the “idea of perspective or mindset” of an Athiest is that they believe that they don’t believe! Talk about an oxymoron. Absolutely clueless of what they claim.

    As Paul wrote in Romans 1:19-22 (NLT), “They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools.”

    Saints of God, we must pray God’s mercy for those that have been turned over (Romans 1:24) for Jesus said in John 4:23-24 NLT, “But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

    On another note to all who claim to worship God (the Father), the real question is “Do you worship in spirit and truth or a lie?”

  36. AJM says:

    This made me laugh! Spirit of dumb!

  37. Eugenica Martin says:

    I believe we all had that same QUESTION! WHO ARE THEY WORSHIPPING?

    • Rhonda says:

      Atheist, or those who believe there is no god worship self. They are hell bent on having it their way and this is just another way to thumb their noses at our God. The time is at hand for Jesus to return, be aware, be prayerful there will be much evil released

  38. Big Jon says:

    If you don’t worship anything, why do you need a place of worship?

  39. Will Ford says:

    “Atheist Worship Temple.” Great definition example for “Oxymoron.”

  40. Bensy says:

    athiests = fools = believes that everything was created by accident = therefore, do what thou wilt = and therefore to them moral values don’t have a purpose = you just do it just to do it.
    Conclusion: What’s the purpose of athiest worshipping?? They’re worshipping by ACCIDENT to prove that a fool will always be a FOOL!……

  41. Meechie says:

    Seems like they worship the earth if they dedicated each centimeter to the earths age, this is dumb on top of dumb!

  42. ANDRE says:

    LET’S SEE HERE: ATHEIST BUILDING A PLACE FOR WORSHIP. WILL THEY HAVE THEIR OWN BIBLES, HYMM BOOKS, TD JAKES OR JOEL OSTEEN WILL THE PASTOR.

  43. Teenage Daughter says:

    Atheists, Buddist, Muslim, Catholics, Gnostic, etc. They all “hate” Christians…

    Notice how the majority of the religions end with a:
    -ic, -ist, -im, -um, or -ology?

    yet Chriatianity has -Ian or -Ity?
    religion is man looking for God the wrong way.

  44. wanda sewell says:

    That doesn’t even make sense what or who are they going to worship.

  45. Stephanie McAllister says:

    Worship??? A place of worship? That’s hilarious. In fact, I think the whole concept of “atheism” is laughable. I mean, they claim that they don’t believe in God. Fine. Then why spend so much time and effort fighting someone they don’t even believe in and trying to destroy other people’s belief in God? I don’t believe in the tooth fairy. Therefore, I don’t waste my time or breath talking about the tooth fairy or mounting protests against people who do believe in the tooth fairy. Atheism is Exhibit A that the devil and his crowd don’t have their heads screwed on right.

    • Leslie says:

      Yes! I never understood why people try to refute something they don’t even believe in. Apparently they do believe there’s a God because if they didn’t, they wouldn’t acknowledge Him.

  46. Tamikka ford says:

    Its crazy. Its just show all the more why they JESUS.

  47. Malik says:

    They sound like they will be worshiping nature….same as worshiping idols.

  48. K FOX says:

    They’re getting together to worship lady gaga and her minions..

  49. Katherine Pitts says:

    1. They are fools because they trust in man. 2. Am I the only person who scratched their head? 3. Is this not the epitome of contradictions. 4. Who else laughed? LOL!

  50. vlmiller says:

    Uh…..if you don’t believe in God or ANY kind of spirit or higher power….what in the world are you going to worship? Or you’re just so tired of feeling left out by the rest of the world that you want a place of your own too? Ugh…..waste of money.

  51. Regina says:

    That doesn’t even make sense. Such foolery

  52. Joeli Gettinreadytobejust Jackson says:

    Ummmm….what are they worshipping?

    • Michelle says:

      LOL, just what I was going, to say then who and what are they worshipping? Total confusion (satan) this is who he is.

    • Teenage Daughter says:

      they worshipmmmmmh selfishness & will teach how to “meditate” and be at “peace” athiest do this without a “church” anyways… its just them being jerks to christians.

  53. Miss LadySoul says:

    Huhh??? Who are they worshipping??

  54. LFW says:

    If you don’t believe in God, why are building a temple? That makes no sense. All I can say is Wow!

    • Michelle says:

      You have to believe in something not to believe in it. So, they have to believe there is a God to not believe there is no God!!!!

  55. 55macklin says:

    I’m confused by this. What exactly are they worshiping? Themselves???
