All,
Maybe it could be a hybrid of both. I for one would be happy to see the group get more vocally involved. Hopefully we could get the word out there that religion doesn't have the market cornered on ethics (quite the opposite) while still maintaining the social aspect. Maybe once a month or so there could be an event for the activist atheist community, with more common meetups amongst the social atheist community.
Cheers,
Dave

Don,
I don't think the Atheists Meetup group should be a revolutionary community
devoted to pointing out the evils of religion and taking positions on
political issues. Rather I think it should be a social group among Atheists
as it has been for the last year, at least. I don't think I can agree with
you on ethical good, or on the impact of religion on society, and I hope the
group will not get involved in the types of issues you discuss in your
letter.

Thank you, Peter! I couldn't have said it better. Norm
