About us
Meet other local atheists and freethinkers for conversation and friendship.
Space Coast Freethought Association (SCFA) is a nonprofit community of reason-based individuals organized to facilitate social interaction, promote the non-theistic, rationalist viewpoint as a valid contribution to public discourse, reinforce the First Amendment guarantee of separation between government and religion through education and activism, and work in coalition with like-minded organizations where joint action is needed to achieve these goals.
SCFA runs the Brevard Atheist meetup. Join us for our various social events, newsletter discussion meetings, and road cleanup.
We are also an associate member of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.

🧬🔬💉The Survival Curve: 220-Years of Scientific Wonder
Winter Park, Park Ave and, Canton Avenue, FL, USCFFC LECTURE SERIES:
This month we feature Bertha Vazquez of the Center for Inquiry's Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science.
Before 1800, half of all children died before their fifth birthday. Disease, infection, and poor sanitation made early death an ordinary part of life. Then, over the next two centuries, humanity experienced one of the greatest transformations in history.
From vaccines and clean water to antiseptics and antibiotics, science helped turn medicine from a world of “bleeding and purging” into an evidence-based system that dramatically increased both lifespan and quality of life. Today, many of these advances feel so normal that we rarely stop to appreciate how recent—and how extraordinary—they truly are.
Join us for a fascinating journey through 220 years of scientific progress, human ingenuity, and the discoveries that changed what it means to survive and thrive. 🌍🔬💉
