Virginia Freethought Renaissance (VFR) is a democratically organized educational group that seeks to unite VA freethinkers into a single coalition to participate jointly for communicative purposes. Of the 22 secular organizations in the state of VA, 11 have chosen to associate with VFR. We're are in the process of expanding to the DC Metro area.

This meetup page was formally known as "Atheist Book Club." The book club type discussion will continue on a bi-monthly basis however we will also be advertising events on the request of our associate members and scheduling some of our own. As a result, not all of the events on our calendar are hosted by VRF - we will cross-list events at the request of any of our associate member organizations.

If you have any questions, or you'd like to help out with event planning, I can be reached at shelleymountjoy@yahoo.com

**Book Discussion Selections for 2009**

January: "Is Christianity Good for the World?" by Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson

March: "Christian No More" by Jeff Mark

May: "Godless" by Dan Barker

July, September, & November: TBD

    "I'm a pro-choice activist in Richmond and an atheist. You can see me any Saturday holding my "Pro-Choice" sign as I am engulfed by the religious outside Richmond Women's Health Clinic. I'm excited to find out about freethought activities around VA."
