I'm a lifelong atheist who, as a child, was forced to go to church. Things like Sunday School and church-sponsored children's parties were held in the basement. I lived for those times when someone dropped something, tripped, or made a mess of things, and I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Even the believers needed a break from the boredom of Sunday mornings when we all wanted to go out and play instead. Dated 1961.
