While there may not be a “Church of Atheism”, I guarantee there are atheist
clergy who can and do perform weddings. Unitarian Universalist churches are
one of the best places to find them.

With its historical roots in the Jewish and
Christian traditions, Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion -- that is, a
religion that keeps an open mind to the religious questions people have
struggled with in all times and places.
From Webster’s New World Dictionary, 3rd Ed.:
an atheist rejects all religious belief and denies the existence of God
Some members of the UUA may consider themselves to be atheists, but by simply
joining the UUA, a religion (which developed out of Judeo-Christian beliefs, no
less), they are, in essence, stepping outside of atheism (the UUA page uses the
term “non-theists”). You can’t have a formalized religion that rejects all
religious beliefs. It’s entirely contradictory.
