What we’re about
Welcome to the Eugene Oregon Atheists Pub Social. We are atheists, skeptics, freethinkers, secular humanists, agnostics, critical thinkers, and a variety of other things the non-religious call themselves. The group has been meeting Monday nights for years. The emphasis is on “social”. We don’t always talk about issues related to atheism, although that often comes up. If you want to talk about atheism, just ask, you’ll find plenty of people willing to talk about it. We tend to be an open group who will talk about anything as long as the discussion is based on reason and evidence and not faith and dogma.
It is becoming more and more acceptable to call yourself atheist, but atheists still have to be careful in many environments including at work and among friends and family. This group was started to provide a place where people don’t have to worry about expressing their nonbelief and where they will not be proselytized to.
The main activity is a meetup the second Monday of the month at 6:30 PM for food, drink, and conversation. (We used to meet every Monday but then, you know. We might start meeting more often at some point.) There is usually someone there by 6:30, but don’t worry about being there exactly at that time - feel free to come later.
For newcomers: RSVPing is not required, but it is helpful if you can. As it is, there are usually more people attending than the Meetup site indicates through the RSVP process. As of Feb 2024, we are averaging 15 people.
We are also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/113884415465142/
Please bring your questions and join us for some godless discussion.
