To bring together atheists, agnostics and other freethinkers. What with this nation leaning towards becoming more religious, those of us who reject religion need to organize and combine our strengths. Even in a society that is supposed to be open and accepting, all too often we have to keep our atheism under wraps lest we be made pariahs.

This group is inclusive of anyone who shares the beliefs of Humanism or Freethought.  Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any dogma.  Humanism believes in the prmacy of human, rather than divine or supernatual matters. We hold a variety of meetups including coffee-shop social chats, book studies, lectures, movie viewing, invited speakers, bar hopping …

This group was started so that the atheists in the upstate could give back to the community.

This is not only a great group for giving back to the community, but it also makes it easier for like-minded people to meet and socialize. This group is open to all atheists, agnostics, humani …

If you are a non-believer, non-religious person and feel singled-out living in a place where the vast majority of its inhabitants is religious, this is the group for you. I started this group because I've been living in the Cumming area since 2011 and so far I couldn't find anyone that shares my same (lack of) beliefs. Maybe there are others out there like me who just weren't found... yet. If you're that person, let's get together. I want to hear about your readings and I want us to challenge ou …

The collection as a whole (or certain subsets thereof) is considered by Jews and Christians to be sacred, thus making it difficult to have a discussion of the Bible with many who are already familiar with it. This group is for those who wish to take an unbiased, secular approach to these texts. In a traditional Bible study, the purpose is to discover God's word through …

This is a group for everyone interested in discussing big ideas in a forum open to a wide range of perspectives, attitudes, opinions, and beliefs. We'll choose topics in philosophy, politics, religion, and other categories typically considered taboo outside homogeneous gatherings. Meetups will start with a short video presenting a premise (< 20 min., e.g. TED.com), followed by a lively round table discussion. Arguing is strongly encouraged, but civility is always required. In other words, we'd l …
