• View from the Pew: Dispatches of a Church-going Atheist–Christian Science
An atheist live-tweets the Sunday Service based on the Weekly Bible Lesson "Reality." He lucked out and got a congregation that could sing and had a good accompanist, I speak from experience when I say not everyone is so lucky.
