Sacramento Freethinkers, Atheists, & Nonbelievers (FAN)

Film and Discussion Night is co-sponsored by Reason Center and Atheists and Other Freethinkers.

Movie nights in person in the Library at the Reason Center in Sacramento. We are at 1300 Ethan Way, Suite 675-B in the back corner of the building. We provide the popcorn, feel free to bring your own snacks as well. It may be a good idea to bring a lawn chair if you have one, just in case.

The actual movie is a secret, because of our MPLC License (https://www.mplc.org/page/the-umbrella-license) and the stodgy rule of law -- but we can slip you a hint. We also encourage a post-film discussion, which makes this educational, sort of.

There is no fee to attend, but we do appreciate your donations to Reason Center. Mark your calendar! We want to see you!

Welcome to FAN's casual Blasphemy Brunch at Folsom's Original Mel's Diner! If you're a non-religious person looking to meet other “nones,” join us for some refreshing secular company and conversation. There is no agenda and everyone orders/pays for themselves.
Please RSVP by 9:30am Saturday

Do you like to hang out with local like-minded people? Want a chance to get to know FANs in smaller groups? Or do you just get hungry on Sunday mornings? JOIN US at Mel's Diner for what we call our "Blasphemy Breakfast", not that we blaspheme that much, but atheist-related topics are known to come up at times.

This is a great event to start with, if you haven't been to SacFAN Meetup events before. Also a great group of people to answer any atheist questions you might have, help you learn more about all the freethinking goings-on in the region, or help you any way we can. It's always a breath of fresh air to have brunch with like-minded friends. And we'll surely be friends once we've met you.

I recommend their malts, omelets, biscuits n gravy, and grilled cheese. It's all good. And everyone's friendly here.

Change of Venue: Beginning in 2024, we have decided to change to a new location that will offer more space, whether we want to meet inside or out. We will be meeting at Mast Coffee at 1430 28th Street.

The history of ancient Christianity is an endlessly fascinating topic. Don Fox and Steve Thoreson are facilitating this meet up to review the history of Rome, religions of the Roman empire, Gnosticism, Mystery cults, history of Christian persecutions, biographies of major Christians, the history of the Bible and many other related topics. If you ever wanted to sort out Eusebius from Clement, or Constantine from Diocletian, or the Vulgate from the Septuagint, then this group is for you.

Previous biblical knowledge is not required to participate.

We will be meeting every third Sunday. Each meeting a specific topic will be covered. Check the comment section to find out what the current readings and topics of discussion are.
