How can unbelievers go along with being in a church?
Not every NTCOF member agrees with or is comfortable with our use of the word “church.” Almost without exception, this is because it carries unpleasant connotations for them, chiefly those of superstition, unquestionable dogmas, and enforced conformity of thought. Since the NTCOF involves none of these things, and because they understand the reasons for the use of the word, most NTCOF members are accepting of its use and have grown to appreciate the many advantages of promoting Freethought as an alternative to faith-based religions.
