What do you mean? I go every Saturday and give half my paycheck to this guy named Jesus "Dirty" Sanchez. You better get wise mister.

First: Being an atheist is not based on faith. It is a way of life.
Second: We don't need to convince or re-convince each other because atheist values are facts and not faith.

Convince each other that an invisible, immaterial being, for who there is no evidence for, doesn't exist? Yep, I can see how we'd have to keep convincing ourselves of that. I meet twice a week to make sure I don't believe in Santa.
An atheist holds no belief in a god - only a minority of atheist hold a positive belief that their is no god. No belief to keep, no need to keep convincing ourselves.

Atheists don't have a faith. They believe in themselves. So why would they need to gather once a week to do anything? Other than to maybe slam a few brews with their buddies.

My alarm clock sings me awake each morning with a little ditty I composed myself:
What is god? a silly sod
Who gave me brains and a female bod
But forgot the cog, or switch, or wheel
To make me think that he is real.

I find that as long as I attend a bi-annual non-prayer evangelical meeting I'm fine. Sometimes I just need to be surrounded by other non-prayers to re-enforce my non-convictions. Plus...sometimes...instead of snake handlers.....we have ***** handlers.

You do not need to reaffirm things not based on faith.
Besides, organizing atheists is like trying to heard cats.

Hmmmm, the sarcasm is subtle....I like it.
Could it be that their belief that there is no God is so strong that they don't need to remind themselves?
By the way....nice question!

Must be all that rational thought involved.
Don't need anyone to re-convince me.
