United States Atheists
I have not attended one of their meetings yet, but there is a group called "United States Atheists" that has their headquarters on SE Foster. I am thinking about checking them out soon. They have meetings on Tuesday nights at 7:30.

Portland Area Humanism Meetup
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.

Secular Parents of Greater Portland
This is a meetup for parents who are raising their children without religion, who love reason as well as art, and who are looking for a community where they can find fun, support, and great company for themselves and their children.

Comment by Carlos Espinosa on July 21, 2008 at 4:46pm: Hello all!
Glad to be in contact with like minded folk in this area. I'm actually about 30 minutes north of Portland, but this is the closest group I could find.
Cheers!

Comment by Avery on July 19, 2008 at 1:34am: Yay for Portland atheists! :)

Comment by Jessicah on July 16, 2008 at 11:08pm: USA is very cool. I would recommend checking it out to anyone interested. I go to meetings as often as I can, and am the assistant producer of our cable access show, Bunk Busters. Older crowd...but I've grown very fond of them!
