Welcome to PSF!  If you're looking for a sense of community, or if you just want to meet some like-minded friends--people who think outside the box when it comes to life--we are your group. One-fifth of American adults--and one-third of Americans under 30--have no religious affiliation. Secularism is growing, but freethinkers are still a minority, and it can be sobering to pursue a well-informed world view.  This group is a place for freethinkers of all kinds to discuss our viewpoints and make c …

UPDATE: This group is closing, due to lack of time on the Admin's part. We encourage you to join Northeast Ohio Secular Woman. Who can have fun like Salvation doesn't exist? Only atheist ladies! This is a social meetup for Freethinking (atheist, agnostic, secular humanist) women. We look forward to meeting you and enjoying rational girly-time! :) But seriously - sometimes it's hard enough to connect with other people, especially when you might be nervous about revealing your lack of belief. Thi …

This is a group for anyone interested in getting together with other free thinkers in a non judging environment to talk about the problems religions cause and ways to fix the problem. I would also like to come up with ways to help the community. Basically the same charities a church would provide except with out preaching to people.”

CFINO Annual Human/Pet Drive CFINO's third annual Human/Pet Drive was a big success, all items were delivered in January. Thank you for your support!

Looking for a "reason based" community?  Sick of the sad state of science education and the gullibility of the average person? Since 2008 our members have been making friends, learning, challenging and being challenged with people who like to examine commonly held ideas and beliefs with a scientific eye. Take a break from those who forward dubious alarmist emails or buy into the latest panacea, religious idea, scam or utopian vision based on "truthiness" alone. Hang out for a laugh, write an act …

We are a group of Atheists, Agnostics, Secularists, and Humanists. We advocate science, reason, and fun. Our group is full of intellectual freethinkers that are open to an array of different topics. We have discussions, movie nights, board game nights, museum tours, dinner nights, and more. Some events that we have had in the past include: a debate on the existence of God with Dan Barker, we've hosted a spaghetti dinner party with JT Eberhard, a trip to Reason Rally, A Trip to Skepticon V, NASA …

Looking to meet some new people who are freethinking and love to read? All from Mercer, Lawrence, or Crawford County areas are welcome. We will enjoy works by Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, Dennett and many other fine secular writers and enjoy open discussion, good food and drinks, as well as making new friends. We will meet at restaurants throughout the area to ensure it is convenient for all members. Books will be approved by the members and we will aim to meet no less than once per month. Ideally …

I'm interested in starting a group of Humanists in Northeast Ohio with the intention of becoming a chapter of the American Humanist Association. The goals of this group can't be defined until more progress is made in forming it, but some ideas include social and support activity, hosting speakers and authors, and perhaps some Humanist activism.

As human beings, living in this so-called free and secular nation, we have the ability and the right to question, examine and dissect all things religious, all things political, all things philosophical, all things cultural, even all things scientific. Any attempts to silence freethought will only make us think louder!

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. We host three events each month: Drinking Skeptically, Brunching Skeptically, and the Science and Skepticism Book Club.  Steel City Skeptics is part of a larger network of local secular groups, including the Pittsburgh Coalition of Reason. For more info you can check our website: www.steelcityskeptic …

The primary focus of Recovering From Religion is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. 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 …

For those who feel alone, want and need support, Recovering From Religion is your place. We would meet 1 or 2 Saturdays of the month, and talk about anything that needs to be discussed. Most of all it is a community of your own to help you, hear you, and stand by you.

Are you a woman**(or supporter of women) not afraid to use the "F"* word who wants to support the power of non-religious women in atheism and society at large? *Feminism!! *gasp*! Are you an atheist, agnostic, or otherwise free of religion and supernatural beliefs? Do you support secular humanist values? If so, this group may be for you. Keep reading! Northeast Ohi …
