We are here to challenge ourselves, not ea …

We are a niche group indeed. Right leaning (OBJECTIVIST?) atheist/deist/non-theists? Who knew? Membership and meet-up info is confidential--no photos are required.

This group is dedicated to promoting positive atheism and to dispelling the negative connotations that the atheism label brings with it. We want to promote the separation of church and state and raise awareness to legislation that disrupts this notion. We want to have a wide variety of events and meet regularly, even if just to hang out with like-minded, good-hearted people. We are completely open to any suggestions regarding the group.

In modern times, the movement has gotten a little distracted with technical gadgets and paranormal reality shows that ventured too far away from the great stories that have captivated humans for millenia. Our goal is to get back on track. To seek out the paranormal wherever it may lead: in churches, UFO landing sites, haunted buildings, or within library books. These great stories bind humanity …
