Note: Texas Freethought Convention
Friday Oct 08
Welcome Freethinking Book Lovers!
The Dallas Atheist Book Club Meetup is a place for freethinkers (atheists, agnostics, skeptics, secularists, etc.) to read and to engage in lively discussion about books relating to atheism, freethought, science, history, governance, biography, psychology, philosophy, and some fiction.
This is not an interfaith dialogue group.
We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM at Legacy Books on the northeast corner of the Tollway and Legacy Drive in Plano. Please keep your RSVP up-to-date.
"Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." Tim Minchin, atheist comedian and megastar.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
