Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any other dogma.


Atheism is the philosophical position that deities do not exist, or that rejects theism. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.

I am scheduling this with another meetup group that probably has a mixed group of people, some who may be religious. So don't 'out' any atheists except yourself if you want to. Anyway.
