FACT was founded in 1990 by activist Catherine Fahringer as the Secular Humanist Association of San Antonio. Then, in January of 1999, the membership elected to change the name to the Freethinkers Association of Central Texas (FACT). Today the association is composed of a dedicated group of freethinkers working hard to achieve objectives of great importance.  Click here to access the FACT website.

The Mission of FACT is to increase public awareness of the benefits of freethought and support causes that employ reasoned and scientific solutions to serious problems, such as separation of church and state.

Our Objectives are ambitious yet achievable:

Challenge the encroachment of religion into federal, state and local governments and eliminate all discriminations and limitations placed upon our civil liberties.

Expose the religious dogma responsible for the population explosion, confront all religious activities that cause population growth, and actively promote practical solutions for population control.

Provide fellowship and the opportunity to learn, discuss, and share freethought information through the distribution of incisive educational materials and focused guest-speaker presentations.

Sponsor community projects that provide assistance and support to those in need.

The accomplishment of these objectives will require intelligence, perseverance and courage.

In addition, the group sponsors a myriad of social activities, including trips to Hill Country wineries, potluck dinners, family nights out and much more.

The public is invited to attend any of our regularly scheduled general meetings held on the (usually) third Saturday of every month except April and December. In April, we charter a bus for a day trip, and in December we celebrate the end of the year with our Winter Solstice Party.  The agenda usually includes a guest speaker sharing views on topics of importance for humankind. These meetings also facilitate the interchange of ideas by providing an opportunity for intelligent discussion and debate - a forum where critical thinking is valued, and questions are encouraged.
