    Honestly, its more of a "you had to be there" thing

That's fair.

    The problem with churches is that you get into building dogmas that cannot be challenged, holy books of faith and unquestionable prophets.

I don't think this is necessarily the case at all churches, though I could see that it would be at some.

    there are millions of people out there without a faith or religion who now know they are not crazy, they are not alone and that there are places to go and talk. That is the most important thing in all of this.

That's fair, I definitely wouldn't disagree that this is a good thing. I do also think that atheism needs to move forward from always seeing itself as having to do battle with organized religion, although I'm sure that many would disagree.
