"We have a biological drive for social interaction.  We long to belong."

- Andrew N. Meltzoff

 

Fostering the local freethinker community lies at the core of our mission.  We understand the importance humans have to belong and recognize that those who don't adhere to any specific religion are at a disadvantage when it comes to finding community and acceptance.  That's why we have in-person meetups and events in addition to our online forums.

 

If you are a member interested in hosting or co-hosting an event, please contact us.
