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.

Comment by Alex Hanuman on January 23, 2010 at 4:55pm: That's awesome, I'm well aware of North Prospect. It has quite a large synagogue.

Comment by Alex Hanuman on January 23, 2010 at 4:28pm: Thanks for the clarification, Don. The Gallup poll I saw was at least a year ago so I wouldn't be surprised if it has changed since then - and for the better it seems!

I grew up and currently live in Burlington where I'm also attending UVM to pursue biological anthropology and religious studies.

Comment by Alex Hanuman on January 23, 2010 at 3:18pm: Hey everyone, I just discovered this site and I'm glad to see some other rational-minded people from VT. :)

I discovered not too long ago from Gallup that our state is the 2nd most non-theistic state in the U.S., losing to Oregon by about 1% I believe it was. Makes me even happier to call this place home.

Comment by Little Name Atheist on November 21, 2009 at 9:59am: Rather than carry on long conversations on the comment wall, maybe folks could start new discussions in our forum, or add to old discussions already there. Might help to keep things a wee bit more organized. Hit the "View All" link to find the other discussions. Our group administrator seems to be AWOL.

Comment by Little Name Atheist on November 7, 2009 at 9:44am: Welcome Vermonster! Some of us are working on getting a Vermont group together. We could be on the verge of critical mass.

Comment by Vermonster on November 6, 2009 at 8:36pm: Hello from down here in southern vt. It's nice to see that there are other thinking people from vt on here

Comment by Stacey B on November 4, 2009 at 7:51pm: Hello, not a true Vermonter, but have lived here for 4 of my 21 years and for the most part, love this beautiful state. I've found the rural areas of VT to be very traditional and religious...so I am now used to being told I'm going to end up in "hell."
I'm new to Atheist Nexus so any advice, or tips for utilizing this website is appreciated, as well as any goings on in Vermont that I'm missing out on.

Comment by Russ Barnes on May 13, 2009 at 9:32am: Hi All,

I just wanted to let you know I have been a Vermonter most of my life and have lived in the Burlington area and grew up in Essex as a Catholic not by choice. My spouse grew up a baptist and my three kids go to church with her in Essex. I feel alone as an atheists in Underhill Vermont community. I do not hide the fact that I don't believe in any god but, I don't bring it up either.
