Why would you call it a church if you don’t believe in God?

Well, “church” is taken from the Greek word : ECCLESSIA, which simply means “assembly”.

So, it is an assembly of people who share one mutual belief: GOD DOES NOT EXIST.

For the same reason Civil War re-enactors will call themselves an “army” even though they have no bullets.
