Good idea. But I don't think that we have to limit the scope of the
"Church" to /any/ idea. A level 3 Church, if you get my drift. Just a
gathering of people to stimulate meme's and make friends.

The more I look, the more I like the North Texas Church of Freethought.
Very nice. Someday, I'd like to actually visit the building, rather
than just the (very well done) website.
