Had enough of astrologers, psychics, homeopaths, and spirit channelers? Yearning to talk with someone rational for awhile? Meetup with other local skeptics for some refreshing and sane conversation. Drinking Skeptically does not take "official" positions on political, religious, academic, or other matters. For example, Drinking Skeptically is not an "atheist" organization; nor is it a "non-atheist" organization. All we are interested in is providing a social venue for rationalists, critical-th …

Looking for an opportunity to creep inside your mind, find the little demon inside fast asleep at an old writing desk, and tickle him awake with a quill pen? Or perhaps you think electro shoc …

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 …

The Greater Lowell Area Skeptics Society (GLASS) was started to help foster a healthy community of critical thinkers who gather to talk, eat, drink, game, and whatever else we do to be fun and social.

The great philosopher Socrates took Philosophy out of the realms of the elite-few and into the streets where, by promoting a method of inquiry among individuals, he challenged them to examine their own beliefs. Thus ensued an unraveling process for the individual, away from the world of appearances, towards Truth. Inspired by Socrates and in celebration of World Philosophy Day, a bunch of us Lovers of Wisdom created Philo-café. We aspire to conduct a similar Socratic dialogue, to bring together …

Bryant University Rational Non-Theists (BURNT) is a group for Bryant University faculty, staff and students who affirm freethought and free expression without religious privilege. We support secular governance as the only religiously neutral means of promoting the interests of all constituents on campus as well as in civic life.

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 group does not espouse anti-religion or anti-cultural movements, nor support a particular political or social platform. All thinkers of all social, politi …

This is a group for people interested in hanging out, drinking different kinds of beer, and discussing their perspectives on life. Each week we choose a topic and a new kind of beer to try out. We hear a 5 min presentation of the subject and then we discuss it. This group is for people from any faith or non-faith background. It's mostly about having a good time and getting to know people who like to think while they drink. We meet on the second and fourth Thursday of the month.
