If you are a fan of the "Ardent Atheist" podcast, come hang out with Heather and Emery on the first Wednesday of every month on their "Stop God, Get Together for Heathens"!

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 An …

We are a major organization for atheists in the Los Angeles metro area. Our monthly meetup is usually the 4rd Sunday at 11am. Our events vary from informative lectures to secular movies to playing fun games. Lunch is always served after the general meeting. Join our community of atheists to discuss beliefs and philosophies, deepen your freethought heritage and make new friends.

… Some of the topics will be controversial, even to liberal atheists! The idea of this meetup is to come from a like-minded place and rationally discuss our individual points of view!

Gather to discuss beliefs and philosophies, and make new friends. We look forward to getting to know you!

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 deriv …

… This group is for people who are single, 25-35 (ish), atheists, agnostics, existentialists, humanists, non-religious, non-believers, and pretty darn happy to be so! No pity parties here, please! ;) Bonus points if you are: non-flaky, smart, socially & emotionally intelligent, self-aware, respectful, always learning & growing, striving to be the best person you can be, living a balanced life, selfless, and non-self-serving. The only thing I like self-serve is the ice cream dispenser at Souplantat …

The Godless Liberal Social Society unapologetically celebrates progressive liberal politics and godlessness. Our members include liberal minded atheists, agnostics and others with doubt in “old bearded white man” theory and magical thinking in general. While we must give credit to Ann Coulter for popularizing the phrase "Godless Liberal", we are quite different from her. We’re a thoughtful bunch of red blooded Americans who live at the crossroads of science and compassion. PLEASE NOTE: We are …

For Brights, and those who are fans of Brights. Let's socialize and philosophize and politicize in order to bring realists like ourselves better political outcomes. There are only two reasons for "freethinkers" to meet. Maybe three. 1. I don't drink...(1a.) and have a significant other. 2. I don't have kids...enjoy whatever social ecology you need to raise them, and have fun. 3. We can ensure our views are represented politically, so as to assure our freedom of thought.   Let's MEETUP and figure …

Mission Statement: The Humanist Community of Ventura County was formed to provide a welcoming social environment for those committed to secular values and community service. Essentially, we're your friendly neighborhood non-believers who are here to show the world that we're good without god :)  More than anything we want to establish a safe and positive sense of community among local Ventura County Humanists! All are welcome and we hope to meet you soon!

This meetup is for Christians who are passionate about exploring what God is revealing to us through the exploration of His creation (via science), and how this squares with what He has revealed in His Word.  We began these gatherings in 2009, but are only now listing them on Meetup.com.  The events typically draw from 50-80 guests (the number of guests indicated here on the Meetup.com site is much smaller because most of our guests come via Evite invitations). Our events are always a rich blen …

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 …

Celebration of Shabbat and other Jewish Holidays from a secular, Humanistic perspective, based on the teachings of Rabbi Sherwin Wine.

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 Infants and Toddlers - is for families who share eclectic, left-of-center cultural interests and progressive values, and have babies born in 2010 (and some in early 2011).  Many meetups will be in Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and Silverlake/Los Feliz areas (park outings, at-home playdates, restaurants, far …
