AIR: Assembly of Inspiration and Reason (Official)
Information
AIR Mission Statement:
We think it is possible to find inspiration in music, art, literature, and the beauty of the universe. We want to honor traditions, and celebrate holidays, but without irrational beliefs. We want to teach our children morals and critical thinking by using the great religious stories and parables, but without teaching absurdities. And most of all, we want to enjoy the benefits of community with like-minded individuals. As the old saying goes, why do we have to, “throw the baby out with the bath water?"
So several Atlanta families are starting what we are calling the, “Assembly of Inspiration and Reason,” or AIR for short. It is our goal to provide all the benefits many of us used to get from church, without the superstition.
The official website will be online soon. Until then, you can read about it here.
Our Mission Statement:
The Assembly of Inspiration and Reason exists to establish, assemble, and foster nontheistic communities; to inspire and edify individuals and families through humanistic philosophy, social interaction, and ceremonial traditions; to promote a naturalistic worldview forged in reason and refined by science; to champion individual liberty and safeguard the separation of church and state; to raise public awareness and acceptance of nontheism.

I'm joining. My wife and I are in Greenville, SC but we'll try to make whatever gatherings are held. I think it's a fine idea. "Assemby" may just be the 'perfect word'.

I have web hosting available, I see the domain is registered and it's using GoDaddy's free hosting... I can donate a much better host and can assist with setting up the site.

What a great idea! We need ways for atheists to get together and meet their fellow freethinkers. Here in Atlanta we have the Atlanta Freethought Society, which meets once a month, and the Atheist Meetup, which has two meetings a month. Another get-together for atheists is most welcome.

This is awesome, I was at a panel discussion hosted by the center for inquiry. They too, said that it is sad that we do not have places to commune. Churches, mosques, and synagogues are places for people to have a communal atmosphere. These religions create these centers either in their places of worship or near their places of worship. So, right on!!!

My family and I are very glad we found this assembly through a friend. We will be at the unEaster celebration coming up. This kind of community is really helping my wife come out of her "Atheist shell". We are excited at the idea of meeting others that have similar ideas to ours.

If ya'll have anything written down other than on this group and the website, I'd love to know about it. We're just getting non-theist group organizing off the ground here in Vermont, and A.I.R. sounds like a good model.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
