Atheist group calls former church home

The Atlanta Freethought Society, an educational organization for atheists and agnostics, will begin meeting this spring at the former Collins Springs Primitive Baptist Church in Smyrna.
The society bought the 142-year-old building and about a half acre of land from a developer this month.
Society leaders say they’re not thumbing their noses at Christianity.
“We’re not taking over a church,” said longtime society leader Ed Buckner. “We bought a building that used to be a church.”
