Hi Katharine and welcome to this wonderful world of rationality, truth and peace.
.
True common sense helped by science leads to atheist wisdom as you know; so if the religious would only listen to reason, there would be no religious.
Lord Byron: “Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves”

Nexus has many ways for members to be involved, make friends, learn, and express yourself. The welcome center is composed of Nexus volunteers, sort of like greeters at your favorite store.

There are Nexus groups for many states, cities, countries, personal expression, hobbies, and many other groups. Get to know people based on what you enjoy, or what you have in common with others.
To find local atheist groups and make friends or chat, check out Meetup.com. (note, Meetup is not connected to AN). Join Meetup and search on a key word, such as atheist, skeptic, freethought, to find a group.
Support Nexus by visiting Amazon.com through Nexus (see the Amazon box on the right). Buying from Amazon via the Nexus site does not increase your cost, but results in a small donation going to Nexus.
