    There's a creepy Christian cafe in Galway that seems to be doing just fine.
    Tobar?

    I went there at least 10 times before I realised it was a Christian café. It's not particularly obvious apart from a few trinkets on the walls. They're really cheap and the food is decent enough, I'd say they get a lot of schoolkids.

    I also listened to Spirit Fm for an embarrassing amount of time, thinking 2fm were doing a Father's Day theme because all the songs were about people's dads.

    OP, I wouldn't open a café that was explicitly atheist, it's too narrow a market.

    I'd just go for "The Science Cafe". It's 100% unambiguous. Put a emphasis on science, education, environment which is as close to enlightened atheism as you get without the negative undertones.

    I'll have the Stephen Fries with some Rand dressing.

    Warming to this idea, OP!

    At least 84% of the Irish population disagreed with you in the last census.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    SO 16% do not identify with any religion? Thats not a bad sized niche... Hipster market is definitely smaller than that!:P

    Actually, no. If you add together the "no religion", "atheist" and "agnostic" groups, plus all those who simply didn't answer the question, it comes to 7.6%. Ninja900's 84% figure refers to Catholics; you have to account for other Christians (6.3%) and non-Christian religions (1.9%) as well.

    Still, 7.6% is a reasonable cohort - 350,000 people. The big question is, do their theological views determine their dining preferences?

    Ah got ya, scary to think that if you're not considered christian, you just fall ino the category of pagan :P

    it's still a nice chunk, but the dispersal nationwide would probably be an issue, and also you have the whole do i really care that much about where i eat as long as its good factor!

    Darwins used to be a good spot last time I was there. Not really in your face but thematic.

    I was addressing Robindch's heretical views on chips and vinegar actually!

    84% = the ludicrously large number of people in Ireland claiming to be catholics (or whose mammies fill in the form for them, or who think that once you're baptised you're a catholic forever, etc. etc.)

    Now - just thought of a name... wait for it...

    A skeptic shouldn't make claims which aren't sustained by evidence!

    No. Things like this just give right-wingers something to else moan about.

    Don't know why anybody would got to it either if it's not local to them. People go to Cafe's/Cafe Bars for the quality of service not based on whether or not there religious.
