Welcome, Reeve! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Atheist Writers, Atheist Activism, No Nonsense, Atheist Morality and the fledgling Think in the Future Tense.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

Happy Halloween and

Hello Reeve
You are a near neighbour to me. I'm in Bradford-on-Avon--except that as I write this I am doing scientific/archaeological research in Ireland.
Anyway, welcome to this world of rationality, truth and peace which you know as a true atheist.
We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3600 members.
