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 …

We are building a community for the new, fast growing, generation of atheist Americans. This group is opened to atheists/agnostics in their 20's and 30's who want to meet and talk with other like minded people. Our monthly event is an informal late lunch. We talk about anything that's on our mind, have some food and a few drinks. We also go bowling, play games and join in community events like the annual AIDS Walk and Atheists United's Highway Cleanup. Bring your friends or come to meet new ones …

We are looking for people to join us in learning together to see the distortions of humanity built into our culture. And we use the support of each other to move forward into living as humans are meant to live. This includes socially, financially, parentally, nutritionally, emotionally, compassionately, transparently, and honestly. Each of us has a stronger focus in one or two areas, educating each other. We are carving out a picture of what a healthy group of people may look like as we move c …

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 …

We are a major community for atheists in the greater Los Angeles area. Our monthly meetup is usually the 4rd Sunday at 11am.

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 provide a safe and positive sense of community among local Ventura County Humanists! We meet for discussion groups monthly, as well as social gatherings, outdoor activities, and co …

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!

BibleTalk is for anyone (even a skeptic) who is interested in openly discussing biblical issues from a philosophical, practical, or theological perspective in a respectful manner. Our mission is to build and make disciples of Jesus as He commanded us to do in the great commission and *really* live out the Christian faith in spirit and truth. God commands us to love Him with all our minds (which means reason), all our hearts (which means love), and all of our strength, and all of our soul (which …

ABOUT THE GROUP: We started as a group studying physicist Tom Campbell's TOE (physics term for Theory of Everything.) Tom is a leader in explaining how Newtonian and quantum physics can be considered a special case subset of the new digital VR physics. Since the 1920's, all the great physicists of the last century realized that consciousness was an important aspect of a new understanding of physics. As the great Nobel Prize winning physicist Eugene P. Wigner said, "It will remain remarkable, in …

Star Wars, The Matrix, Avatar, Star Trek and many other favorites often contain themes of God and spirituality which make for great storytelling. But are these just themes of fiction or is there something more? Can it be that the success of these films is due to their speaking of concepts we are created to connect with on a spiritual level? Join us as we meet, discuss, and record podcast episodes of "Not Of This World!" Join me in the FusionFilter Faithcast as we discuss Sci-Fi & the Bible from …

I am excited, proud, and enriched by participation in secular humanism groups which foster celebration of freedom from irrational religious dogma and custom. There are many groups in the LA area, but we are notably lacking one for all ages in Santa Monica.  Like religious folks, we need community--so let's create one!  We are just getting started, so the focus and activities may, might I say, EVOLVE over time.  Your ideas are essential.

This group caters to intelligent people who are seeking added depth to the usual conversations about topics that defy simple explanations and/or deserve deeper insight.

Informed by Nature organizes group trips to cool science events in the LA area. Whether its a star party at the Griffith Park Observatory, a talk at JPL, or a first Friday social event at the Natural History Museum, we meet up and go together, as a collection of people who love science, and often go out for a drink or coffee afterward. Ultimately, we hope to create a social community that emphasizes raising consciousness to the magnificence of the natural world and supporting the science that dr …
