Calling all humanists, atheists, skeptics, and free thinkers in the mid Hudson Valley to come together for community and mutual inspiration.

"It seems to me what is called for is an exquisite balance between two conflicting needs: the most skeptical scrutiny of all hypotheses that are served up to us and at the same time a great openness to new ideas." -Carl Sagan We are a collection of open minded thinkers interested in ideas about truth and existence. We are interested in examining the human experience through science, religion, philosophy, and story telling to address the big questions in life. We respect all points of view and …

Humanism is a godless philosophy based on reason and compassion. Humanists believe that our morality is based on the well being of conscious creatures, and that no higher power needs to be appeased. Here in Rhode Island, where the Catholic Church holds such sway and power that we can't pass a marriage equality bill or even remove a prayer from our schools without going to court, it's important to remember our founder Roger Williams, the man who first established a part of this world where church …

This group was created because I feel that we need more open-ended discussion groups that allow us to develop community and meet other freethinkers whose thinking is focused on science, philosophy, art, politics, innovative social thinking, agnosticism, atheism, humanism, current events, culture, intellectualism and community development. This group does not espouse anti-religion or anti-cultural movements, nor support a particular political or social platform. All thinkers of all social, politi …

The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves? If we can't logically blame or credit each other for anything, how do we evaluate and respond to what we do? If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …

There are many "social" groups on this website, but suburbia offers few worthwhile opportunities to truly unearth like-minded people.  Less is more, so I would like to assemble a small group of people who relate to most of the following ideals: 1) You're a lifelong learner, intellectually curious, and motivated to learn things. Therefore, you're growing and evolving, and are rarely bored.  Engagement is the sine qua non of contentment. 2) You think for yourself. You're a critical thinker with re …

A local group for freethinkers, atheists and non-believers in the RI and eastern CT area.

Westchester Wine Enthusiasts is an amateur wine tasting association that endeavors to create a fun and educational environment absent of wine snobbery and collectors' one-upmanship.  Although we have sommeliers, distributors, and vendors participate, we do so simply for the love of wine. As Michael Broadbent once said, "To some, tasting is work, tasting is learning; tasting adds immeasurably to understanding, and understanding to deeper enjoyment." Skeptical of hype, appreciative of the craft, a …
