This looks like a tower in which you'd imprison a princess for 100 years, but it's supposed to be a
temple to atheism--or more precisely, a temple to science and nature. These developments may seem
quite odd, especially considering non-believers’ sometimes intense rhetoric against faith and
religion. But now — there’s another more bizarre project in the works, as a new “atheist
temple” is being planned in London, England.

If you have the opportunity to telecommute regularly, or even work from home every now and again,
the temptation can be strong to just put your feet up and forget about work unless you have to check
