Perhaps it's time someone started one? What are the chances of attracting some members?
You should make one worshipping the flying spaghetti monster... that way your club won't be the odd one out.

I think though there would have to be some interesting discussions/invited speakers or something to encourage people to come. All the atheists I know tend to not be "group-y" kind of people. Perhaps this explains why although about 25% of Australians are atheist (recent Age article) we so rarely hear about them!

Christian club: Sit around and talk about jesus
Read the bible
Sing songs
ect
Athiest Club: Sit in akward silence
The clubs would talk about what they believe in, which for the athiest club is..nothing?
I just dont see how itd be a lively kind of club or if theres some christian bashing going on, itd only be athiests bashing each others opinions on the same thing lol.
Maybe an overall bigger club like a rationalists or skeptics club or something. Still same lack of attractiveness applies.
A poker club sounds awesome too.

Rationalist and skeptics society might be better choices for a non-aggressive society, although skeptic has a negative connotation, and rationalist sounds kinda boring.
Perhaps a better name could be the League of Reason, or perhaps "PEARList society"

I guess atheist clubs could discuss how to lead a full life without god.+ 1. I also find that a lot of atheists have a vested interest in espousing rational thinking, limiting religious influence in public and political life, and strengthening upper-level education in the natural sciences and social sciences. These would all be interesting topics for discussion.

The basic tenets of Xtianity are too strange for me to critique objectively. I think "positive promotion" (i.e. promoting rational thinking rather than explicitly bashing Xtianity) is more effective.
On the mahjong thing: given that Monash is totally Azn, i think it could be successful. Does anyone know what do you have to do to start a club? Write a proposal or something?

I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
