Very interesting news.
For Korey Peters, deconverting from Christianity to atheism opened a new set of doors – the doors to Calgary’s first atheist church.
The unusual idea that grew into Calgary’s atheist congregation came to the former Christian when he realized he longed for the sense of community and guidance that comes from being part of a church but without all the “the horror, ignorance and superstition?” wrote Peters in a guest blog for thinkbig.com.
It would be awesome to meet Mr. Peters. It’s not often someone feels discontent and then actually does something productive about it. Kudos to him.
“I began to miss the church experience myself…and I thought ‘Oh, it would be a good idea to have a church for the non-religious,'” Peters said in a recent interview with HuffPost Live.
