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.

What members are saying
“ Very welcoming ”
“ This group is what it promises to be - thoughtful, thinking people with a similar view of the world. It seemed light a bright little island in a sea of dimness. ”
