I agree. It&#x27;s kind a dilemma - seeing atheism as a movement or ideological group with (inofficial) &quot;leaders&quot; turns it into just another type of institutionalized herd mentality thing. Yet if people don&#x27;t do that but just don&#x27;t go to church, institutional religion always will be stronger and better at bringing people together, which in turn makes it harder for people who just don&#x27;t go to church (or mosque or whatever) to defend the freedom to not do that without being bothered.
