This group is for families of atheists, freethinkers, humanists, agnostics and all others with a rational world view with a focus on planning family-friendly activities and providing rational parents with a place to share and learn about raising freethinking children. We are looking for active members who would like to be involved in planning and hosting BBQs, game nights, pool parties, and trips to the zoo, beach days, amusement park trips and any other family friendly activity in the Los Ang …

Sometimes it seems like all us atheists do is rail against the onslaught of organized religion and its influence on society. (I admit, I do my share of that.) But I’d also like to think we’re willing to give back to society with our minds and bodies, to help make a better world. So let’s do it! Working with LA Works, I’ll keep us abreast of good deeds we can do as a group – be it cleaning up a beach, helping the homeless, or whatever. Then we’ll have fun doing it, and maybe have a bite to eat af …

Our vocal group is called the Voices of Reason. We sing a cappella and choral music with a secular/atheist/humanist twist! We practice on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, plus occasional performances. (Please note we are NOT meeting on May 12 due to Mother's Day.) Our intention in having a meetup group is for others to know how to find us, and it seems like it'll help find the right people better than Craigslist!

Hi! Welcome to my group & I hope we meet up soon! :) I started this group because I wanted to meet other young, non-religious singles on the Westside. This group is different for three reasons: 1) Instead of debating/discussing/defending/explaining why we are non-religious, I'd rather spend our time hanging out and talking about everything EXCEPT why we are non-believers. LOL Our lack of religion is a mere shared common background - instead of the focal point of our meet ups. 2) This would be a …

Humanism is: "An appeal to reason in contrast to revelation or religious authority as a means of finding out about the natural world and destiny of man, and also giving a grounding for morality. Humanist ethics is also distinguished by placing the end of moral action in the welfare of humanity rather than in fulfilling the will of God." - Oxford Companion to Philosophy Humanists, atheists, Brights, freethinkers - As secularists, we celebrate the virtues of rational thought, morality derived …

We meet for discussion groups monthly, as well as social gatherings, outdoor activities, and co …

Recovering From Religion is a support group for people letting go of religion. If you are one of the many people who have determined that religion no longer has a place in their life, but are still dealing with the after-effects in some way or another, Recovering From Religion (RR) may be just the right spot for you. Many people come to a point that they no longer accept the supernatural explanations for the world around them, or they realize just how much conflict religious belief creates. It c …

Meet others who are interested in getting in shape and taking advantage of the beautiful hiking trails that are so close to us. We will meet one or two times a month at varying locations!

Do you consider yourself to be kind and thoughtful? To be accepting of others? To be fun and engaging? Do you feel like you relate with so many, yet have met so many who rashly assume they probably won't relate with you? Do you feel like people seem to genuinely like who you are, yet even so, somehow don't quite know what to do with you in "their world?" Perhaps you almost feel like you're expected to focus on aligning your being with some kind of niche community or sub-culture, based on some di …

The narwhal bacons at midnight. This is a meet-up group specifically for redditors of r/LosAngeles.

This group is for skeptics of all types.  You might say a skeptic is one who is an evidential truth-seeker an evidencialist. One who knows what his/her reality is by the evidence presented to them.  One who inquirers about everything, but accepts the most reasonable explanation based on science and falsifiable claims. There is no topic a true skeptic will not approach, and the topic of religion is one of those. This group is NOT for those who say “I know for sure that I am right, that my religio …
