Gothic Atheist Association, anyone?

If it's not covered by one of those other categories, you should probably talk about it here. Be nice.

My son started a cult with some kids in his dad's neighborhood. (He makes his Momma so proud!) The world needs more cults... so that I may study them! *insert mad scientist laughter here*

Seriously though, good luck on any social groups anyone wishes to start, religious or secular. Hangin out with like minded folks can be very good for one's ego. Just always pepper the experience with a little diversity when you can. That's the good stuff! ;)

Segregation!
Do not group....stay an individual by being by yourself. (Gives me more time with my wife, since she wants to study groups. :) )

Thanks for that, I love Penn and Teller and Michael Shermer.

My favorite episode of that Penn & Teller show was the one where they exposed how recycling is actually more harmful to the environment (except aluminum) than landfills and was started as a movement based on false information as a scheme to make money.

Along those lines, I highly recommend The God Who Wasn't There.

I think my favorite was the one where they completely blast environmental groups and bottled water myths. They show that bottled water is usually just tap water or sometimes actually worse than your local tap water.

"God" has never spoken to me in he history of my existance, but I do tend to see patterns in how things happen and it always amazes me that when I focus/pray/meditate on something then it usually happens. None of this has proven that "god" is taking an active part in my life, but it does tell me that there is something more than my current understanding.

actually, i think you're close. i don't think there is a sentient "god", and while i could give a big, long list of other, more likely possibilities that would explain away all of the "miracles" people talk about - i.e., a collective consciousness, aliens, sleight of hand, mental illness, etc - i think it's all far more easily debunked by the existence of peyote, lsd, and other mind-altering drugs.

But bottled water tastes good.

And it's definitely better than MY tap water, let me tell you that...
