The Central Valley Alliance of Atheists and Skeptics is formed as a nonprofit educational association focused on the population of the California Central Valley in order to promote secular viewpoints in public discourse, educate the public on the use of rational scientific inquiry and positive secular philosophy, promote the First Amendment guarantee of separation of state and church, urge camaraderie among the secular community and their supporters, and encourage joining or forming affiliated non-theistic organizations.

We act as a "Secular Voice in the California Central Valley", where we remind everyone that the religious majority can not and does not speak for everyone.

We speak up to promote rational thinking, we speak up to promote science, we speak out against pseudoscience, and we speak up to promote the separation of state and church.

CVAAS strives to be a welcoming environment for Atheists, Skeptics, Secular Humanists, Agnostics, Freethinkers, Brights, and anyone else who supports science and / or a positive secular philosophy.

We became an official organization on May 4th, 2008.
