How about a Secular Humanist group?

All atheists, agnostics, and those who believe that the worship of invisible flying things is absurd are welcome here.

George Carlin says it best:

"In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can’t hold a candle to a clergyman. ‘Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story.
Holy Shit!"

re: Joe Pesci:

Carlin has also said he might worship the Sun, because he can actually see it, but prays to Joe Pesci because "he's a good actor", and "looks like a guy who can get things done!", and praying to him has approximately the same 50% success rate as praying to God

There was an anti Jesus-Freaks thread somewhere... and that was anti-(Jesus-Freaks) and NOT (anti-Jesus)-Freaks. Just to eliminate the last vestiges of intelligibleness: not anti-jesus but definitely against the freaks. That's probably why it didn't become a (what were they called again? Those things which players can found and they get a separate forum and stuff. Was it clans?)-THING. Anyway. We just weren't crazy enough to do it.
