I have actually been thinking of starting an organization for atheists here in my community too. I believe we need to organize better than we are, but this can be a double-edged sword. If we organize it gives an illusion of religion even more than is believed in theist circles now. I have a lot of respect for some of the religious groups that volunteered to rebuild homes for Katrina victims and I have always wondered why humanists don't organize and work hand in hand with some of the theists. Kill Em With Kindness, I guess to prove a point that atheists aren't all evil LOL.

Cali, you should check out the Atheist Volunteers site.

Also, I would disagree that organizing atheists give the illusion of religion.  Is it not human nature to want to gather with like-minded individuals - be it socially, for discussion, or with a social service project intention?
