Are there any atheists that go to church for the coffee and doughnuts?

Or for some other reason like social pressure? I am not talking about being forced to go by parents. I mean going of your own free will.

    I suppose a hungry and cold thirsty person, atheist or not, would go into a church for free coffee and donuts. It isn't like they would believe God would strike them dead for doing so.

    Some atheists might go to please their spouse who is trying to instill values in their young children. An atheist might go if someone they work for goes to a particular church, thinking it might lead to a promotion. And most would go if a loved ones funeral is in a church, or if someone they are very close to invites them to a Christening or a wedding in a church.

    Just because Atheists believe God isn't the all powerful being of all, doesn't mean they expect everyone else to reject him. After all, that is part of the "free will" that they believe in. To a true Atheist, walking into a Church is like walking into a real life version of Alice in Wonderland. While they know it isn't real, it can be very entertaining.

    There may well be, but I'm not one of them.

    I can make my own coffee and breakfast pastries and know how to tell people who pressure me to fvck off with a jolly smile on my face.

    I believe in using glass over plastic as often as possible. That being said, I don't go to Tupperware parties for the tea and cookies..

    Very very few churches serve any kind of refreshment as that is not the purpose of the gathering.
