As the police beat down NYC's Occupy, occupiers have only one last friend: sympathetic churches. It would probably make sense for occupiers to attempt to organize outside of centrally-located camps, but that may be impossible, as the internet channels are under the control of the typically mentally ill of the Internet: "troll-bashing bigots" as I described below with respect to New Brunswick, Canada's failing anti-fracking movement (which is, I believe, failing for that reason).
The churches continue to support them, even though (I assume) most are atheists or agnostics at least. Coming from that kind of background, I started going to a specific and friendly church after studying constructivism and similar sociology/community topics.
Basically, the way to go to church is to deal with the superficial stuff (which can be "magical thinking") and get into the deeper stuff (which in the empathy model is highly neurological -- neural constructs most atheists, and many church men, don't have).
