Vermont Non-Theist Resources

Non-Theist Gatherings in Vermont:

A skeptical atheist picnic was organized on Facebook. It will be held at Chuck Villa's house (due to threatening weather) Saturday, June 23rd, at 1 PM. Contact Ana Thema for info., or Chuck Villa on Facebook.

Vermont National Atheist Party has a monthly meet-up every first Saturday.

Other Vermont groups:

Vermont Skeptical Atheists: A group for skeptical atheists on Facebook. "The focus of this group will be helping to facilitate community for people in Vermont and nearby". Facilitated by group member Ana Thema.

Vermont National Atheist Party: Not strictly for skeptical atheists, let alone atheists, but I suspect a majority are at least atheists. Monthly meetings currently in Montpelier. Facilitated by group member Ryan McCue.

Upper Valley Humanists: "The Upper Valley Humanist Association's mission is to provide a fellowship group for the non-religious based upon science, reason, empathy and compassion for our community and our natural environment." Meets in Hanover, NH.

The Deep and Meaningful Conversation Meetup Group - Organized by group member Jon Bondy in the Burlington area. Not strictly for non-theists, but it appears some attend.

Comment by Ryan McCue on November 23, 2011 at 6:39pm: Has anyone checked out the National Atheist Party? http://www.usanap.org/
I found I agree with every single platform stance of the NAP, and they are doing a phenomenal job of uniting like minds in this area. They already have 527 Tax status and have chapters in every state. What do people think after reading the Charter?

Comment by Ryan McCue on October 20, 2011 at 8:19pm: The National Atheist Party(NAP) is growing rapidly! It is about time Atheists and freethinkers had representation in our secular government!
Please check them out and join, if interested, then join the VT group as well. We are new but committed to growing as VT is the least religious state in the country!

Comment by Christine M on August 25, 2011 at 5:01pm: Hi! I'm happy to have found a Vermont group, even if it is quiet at the moment. The quietness of this group actually doesn't surprise me. Most Vermonters I've met tend to be the quiet sort.

Anyway, I'm up in the NEK, where it is currently cloudy and rainy.

Comment by Toni Clark on March 8, 2011 at 7:14am: I'm interested, too. Thanks for the enthusiasm, Marc. I'd love to see more action here and among Vermont skeptics and nonbelievers.

Comment by Marc Therieau on March 8, 2011 at 1:50am: @Little Name Atheist : I am very interested. Maybe a North Vermont Atheists, and South Vermont Atheist groups as well to get meetings going more quickly. Reduces travel time, and gas as well. Maybe set up some Video conferences in the site. I am willing to help moderate the site as well if you want to start it.

Comment by Little Name Atheist on December 20, 2010 at 12:33am: This doesn't seem to be working as a way to organize Vermont atheists. Anyone interested in a Facebook or Google group?

Comment by Little Name Atheist on June 1, 2010 at 12:11am: We aren't actually a Meet-up group. Atheist Nexus doesn't charge people to organize local groups like Meetup does. There are people from your area in Skeptical Vermont. If you'd like some help connecting with them, drop me a line.

Comment by Joseph Alfano on May 31, 2010 at 10:27pm: Hello everyone! Lived in Brattleboro for about eight years now, actually looking to start a meet-up group but having a hard time finding potential members. Glad to see we have one up in Burlington, though! Take care :)
