How to find us
We will be meeting in the back room. (I have been here before for meetings with other groups. Do not feel that you need to purchase anything. It's a self service counter in the front and comfy couches in the back.)

Visit our MEETUP page for more information. While you are there please join our group. That will insure that you are notified by email about our future events and news.

Comment by Michel Campbell on September 15, 2010 at 4:38am: Amazingly, this is the most "stuck in a rut" state I have ever lived in. I work for the federal government and there are prayers given at meetings. And if I hear Pascal’s Wager on more time, I am going to vomit.

Comment by The Big Blue Frog on August 27, 2010 at 7:41am: Two churches on every street is the norm. You must live amongst heathens!

Comment by Micah on May 3, 2010 at 12:59pm: There is a group in Gadsden called the Etowah County Rational Alliance (ECRA). In Chattanooga, there is the Chattanooga Freethought Association. That may be some options for you. There are many more places in the Southeast are more isolated from a local freethinking group.

Comment by Tommy on May 2, 2010 at 10:39am: Good to meet you Kevin. I live in Tunnel Hill Ga. Not to far away. My house sits in between three churches. I think of my house as a speck of sanity amongst the delusional.

Comment by Kevin Ray Smith on May 2, 2010 at 2:54am: Hello from the heart of Sand Mountain. Yes, I am an Atheist living in the midst of fundamental believers. There are actually a few non-believers here. I do have a bit of trouble finding free-thought groups in this area. I have considered starting one, or maybe, getting a couple of groups from Huntsville to branch into this area. I have felt out-of-place for a number of years as a result of living here. Actually, I have learned, that being rabid and completely honest with the delusional fundis in the area, is the best buffer against feeling like a victim. Nevertheless, it would be great to meet many more free-thinkers, Atheists, Anti-theists, Brights, etc. in this area.

Comment by Crying Calypso on April 5, 2010 at 3:17pm: Nice to meet you all :) My husband and I grew up on the NE Alabama/NW Ga border, and I can definitely relate to feeling out of place. We actually took off for New England and didn't look back to the South until just a couple of years ago. Luckily, I've grown to give less of a crap about the comments I get when someone brings up religion. :)
