The Humanists of Greater Portland (HGP) are reaching out! We have been meeting downtown every Sunday morning for a decade, for questions, discussion, and socializing, all anchored to an interesting program. Everyone is welcome to attend those meetings, and we get some attendees traveling 25 miles each way, but they don't work for everyone.

Comment by Dan Psiropoulos on June 13, 2010 at 11:51am - Go to meetup.com, there are always things to do. I've only made it to one get together myself but that is only because my wife is considers herself a Christian, so the whole idea of a comunity of nonbelievers is a bit dicey at times. Thanks for helping us stay the most atheistic state in the country :o)

Yes! Mississippi was the one next to Alabama that I couldn't think of. I knew I was missing another big, southern fundy state somewhere!
It's weird, but I never had the typical reaction to atheists when I was a believer. Oh sure, they were headed for hell, but I didn't presume to know or understand the reasons *why* they didn't believe. I didn't auto-dismiss them or hate their existe…
