Alain de Botton, a Swiss-born writer and philosopher now resident in the UK, wants to build a series of “Temples to Atheism” in the UK, Dezeen reports.
Work has apparently begun on the first £1 million “temple” designed by Tom Greenall Architects. A statement from de Botton reads:
“Measuring 46 meters in all, the tower represents the age of the earth, with each centimetre equating to 1 million years and with, at the tower’s base, a tiny band of gold a mere millimetre thick standing for mankind’s time on earth.The Temple is dedicated to the idea of perspective, which is something we’re prone to lose in the midst of our busy modern lives.”

It would be far more helpful if the atheists could give us their Bible or sacred agreed upon scripture. So, the theists do not have to talk to them one at a time but could argue against a consistent agreed upon position.
For starters, the atheists could give us their morality and the basis of it as well.
