Rationalists and "skeptics" aren't really capable of maintaining a robust club because a) it's hard to find healthy critical thinking in societies that are still addled in a swamp of tribalism from millennia ago, and b) not believing in fables is a weak social pretext. (Hey, let's get together for pints and not believe in $somegroup's ravings.)

The application of rational thought is an educational process. With all the inherent fragility of any educational process.
