We are a community of atheists, agnostics, and other theistically challenged people residing in the Northeast Ohio area. The goal of this group is to bring local non-believers together in a friendly and comfortable environment where our thoughts can be shared without fear of chiding from ignorant faith-heads. This group was originally founded as the "Drunken Atheists." It seemed like a good idea at the time, but lately I'm much more interested in just connecting with other local atheist. If you …

Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others made him a more excellent human being. In this spirit, the purpose of the Socrates Café is not to persuade others to our point of view, but to deepen our understanding of the views of everyone who participates. Please join us at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month for the next Socrates Café and another ninety minutes of philosophical exploration.

Eastern Ohio Freethinkers We have formed this group as a result of several years of monthly traveling to Akron, Cleveland and Mansfield to meet with fellow freethinkers and humanists. We know there are people in the Tuscarawas valley with a rationalist outlook. We know those people would welcome a chance to get together with friends to discuss the events of today. We know that even in todays internet society there is a huge need for friendships and casual conversations face to face. Since the t …

Who can have fun like Salvation doesn't exist? Only atheist ladies! This is a social meetup for Freethinking (atheist, agnostic, secular humanist) women.

I'm interested in starting a group of Humanists in Northeast Ohio with the intention of becoming a chapter of the American Humanist Association. The goals of this group can't be defined until more progress is made in forming it, but some ideas include social and support activity, hosting speakers and authors, and perhaps some Humanist activism.

Looking to meet some new people who are freethinking and love to read? All from Mercer, Lawrence, or Crawford County areas are welcome. We will enjoy works by Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, Dennett and many other fine secular writers and enjoy open discussion, good food and drinks, as well as making new friends. We will meet at restaurants throughout the area to ensure it is convenient for all members. Books will be approved by the members and we will aim to meet no less than once per month. Ideally …

This is a group for anyone interested in getting together with other free thinkers in a non judging environment to talk about the problems religions cause and ways to fix the problem. I would also like to come up with ways to help the community. Basically the same charities a church would provide except with out preaching to people.”

For those who feel alone, want and need support, Recovering From Religion is your place. We would meet 1 or 2 Saturdays of the month, and talk about anything that needs to be discussed. Most of all it is a community of your own to help you, hear you, and stand by you.
