We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …

We are a group of young professionals in New York City who meetup to have a good time with fellow atheists!

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 …

This aim of this group is to raise awareness and stir action among the humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and other like-minded citizens in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam Counties.

Our goal is to discuss our circumstances, how we deal with them, and develop a better understanding of the kind of world we …

Whether you have left the church, attend a church, or just curious about church or religion this is the group to voice your opinion and have a discussion and get some insight.
