Do you have a rational worldview based on the natural world? Do you seek ethical models in the world that are based on compassion, science, and empiricism?

Then come check us out!

Conoce a otros locales de los ateos, librepensadores y humanistas. Se reúnen para discutir las creencias y filosofías, y hacer nuevos amigos.

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 …

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 …

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 …

Are you an artsy, smartsy, punky, freaky, or geeky parent of a little one? Wouldn't it be great to meet other people who have more than parenthood in common? Our group - Progressive Parents of Toddlers - is for families who share eclectic, left-of-center cultural interests and progressive values, and have toddlers born in 2010/early 2011. Families with both infants and toddlers are also more than welcome! Many meetups will be in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and Silverlake/Los Feliz areas (park …

The narwhal bacons at midnight. This is a meet-up group specifically for redditors of r/LosAngeles. If you don't know what that is, this isn't the meet-up you're looking for. *waiving Jedi hand* You might be asking yourself why on Earth you'd want to meet with a bunch of other geeky people from the interwebs.

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 …

We decided to start the group because it’s hard to find people who are happy to share their intellect and perspectives on being atheist. This group is not just to talk about religions or our atheist/ agnostic views but to hang out and have fun with people who share similar interests. This group is not for judgmental people who want to criticize other religions, but for those who want to educate each other on strengthening atheist beliefs and or educating each other on different religions, and or …

Backyard Skeptics Long Beach is associated with its parent meetup.com group, Barkyard Skeptics (Central Orange Country). We are a community of individuals interested in exploring and discovering truths in the natural world based on science and critical thinking. As skeptics we question authority and make real-world decisions based upon the conciseness of each scientific field. Our members are humanists, agnostics, atheists and evidencialists. The discovery and awe of the natural world has much m …

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 …

There is a growing number of skeptic groups which call themselves 'evidencialists' — those who place their confidence (belief) in only those claims with sufficient evidence.  This is one of those groups. This is also the fifth chapter of Backyard Skeptics. There is a chapter in Villa Park, South OC, LA and Long Beach. Our group is one with a heavy atheist 'bent'. If you don't believe in any supernatural deity or paranormal ability (woo-woo), this group is for you. We meet once a month on the thi …

This is a group for freethinking, humanist, agnostic, atheist, life learning, secular homeschooling and unschooling families. We get together for park play days, field trips, learning activities and any other fun events that take place in the Los Angeles area. I want to build a community where our kids can grow up around like-minded families. All ages are welcome. If you are new to homeschooling or if you've been homeschooling for years, we can all learn from each other's experiences. If this s …

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 …

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! At this moment, we have approximately eight existing r …

Are you a Free Thinking Entrepreneur looking to meet others with the right mindset for success BUT without the spiritual baggage?

We are planning to start mastermind groups and collabor …
