Atheist Mega-Churches

I'm wondering what others think about atheist mega-churches that are now forming in the US, UK, and Australia. The founders are Sanderson Jones and Pippa Evans. I understand that atheists want to find like minded people. To me, however, the "mega-churches" concept seems almost as if these people are forming an atheist religion. It seems they are copying the practices of other churches, i.e., meeting on Sunday, erecting large edifices, passing a collection plate, and following other practices involved in a religious church service. The only difference is the lack of worship of a god. So please let me know what you think. I'd be interested to hear other opinions on the subject. You can find more information about the churches at http://www.SundayAssembly.com.
