WNC Atheists brings together people that find no evidence for the existence of any gods or deities. Are you an atheist, agnostic, skeptic, or freethinker? Then welcome aboard! (Please note: most information about the group, including the names of our members and the locations of some meetups, is kept private from non-members. Unfortunately, we live in a society where there are potentially negative consequences for being public about one's atheism.)

We are a niche group indeed. Right leaning (OBJECTIVIST?) atheist/deist/non-theists? Who knew? Membership and meet-up info is confidential--no photos are required. We will meet in the Clemson/Central/Easley area for coffee or happy hours in neutral settings, nothing formal until we knit together. This is NOT a home for militant, never-had-faith Liberal atheists! There are plenty of great groups for those types--and I belong to a few and I love my atheist friends deeply. BUT>>> this is a safe, co …

In applying Humanistic values to daily living we can advance healthy and natura …

We are an informal group of freethinkers who come together to exchange thoughts and ideas about philosophy, belief, religion, history, science, culture, the arts, and personal relationships. In addition, we participate in activities together such as hiking, movie night, local events, parties and other civic activities. Freethinkers are those that have the courage to question commonly held beliefs. Whether you call yourself a believer, non-believer, atheist, agnostic, philosopher, scientist, arti …

The Bible is a single-volume collection of several historical texts that were composed over a period of many hundreds of years. The collection as a whole (or certain subsets thereof) is considered by Jews and Christians to be sacred, thus making it difficult to have a discussion of the Bible with many who are already familiar with it. This group is for those who wish to take an unbiased, secular approach to these texts. In a traditional Bible study, the purpose is to discover God's word through …

Our group provides support to those who have or are in the process of letting go of supernatural beliefs by providing a community of people in various stages of religious recovery. Our goal is to present thought provoking topics and questions to encourage participation in open discussion. This is not a venue for confrontation or judgement of others. We invite you to join our community and express your thoughts and ideas without worry of being judged. Whatever stage of recovery you are in, we wel …

This group is a get together for people interested in skeptical inquiry, current events in science, church and state relations, and medicine. We support critical evaluation of alternative health modalities, conspiracy conjectures, and pseudoscience in general.

I don't have all the answers, in fact, it seems the more I learn the less I know. The purpose of this group is to get together and simply talk through things.  No, we won't get it all figured out, but isn't the mystery of life truly one of its joys? Much of the focus will be on spiritual issues, but feel free to propose any question you would like to discuss. I want you to feel welcome, no matter your background.  Those who have shared our Table include Agnostics, Atheists, Buddhists, Christians …
