?"Leave God at the Door"?


“Leave God at the Door”??

I heard of a new church today, although, the concept has been around for years. No new idea being shared.

It’s called a new atheist church. They say they have no religion so leave God at the door.

Isn’t the “new Atheist church”, that claims to have no religion, a belief system and religion in and of itself?

The word religion is defined as; 1. a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

2. A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.

3. The body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices:

a world council of religions.


I think I understand that they want to do good to and for people… without God or any form of a higher power. Hmmm.

 They say “leave God at the door”.

So…. They are saying there is an entity, known as God, who should not come in. Hmmm.  

I think that sounds a lot like;

“We want to do good, we don’t believe in God, but we know He is out there and we are scared to let Him in”

God is love. This is true and has been proven. So to do “good” without kindness is a misnomer for the term good.

Do I fear this type of religion? Absolutely not, but I am aware of the existence of Satan or an Evil power that is of the world. He has tried many times to eliminate God from human devotion, and has failed to make this a reality for all of mankind:

 Every – Single – Time.

 There have been those that have fallen away, but God is still here.

I wonder, if someone were to come to that church and figuratively leave God at the door, would He rejoin them as they left the building? Or is there another exit? But if God is left outside, wouldn’t He be able to find that other exit too? Or isn’t this just like any other cult that tries to brainwash those inside the building?

 I need to bring God everywhere with me – never just inside the church building, as some do, leaving God at the door when they exit their places of worship.

So I ask;
Do I leave God at the door, entering or exiting?
