About us

Minnesota Atheists is Minnesota's oldest and largest atheist organization. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization that seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society, provides a community for nonbelievers, educates the public about atheism, and promotes separation of state and church. We help make atheism part of mainstream society. We look forward to meeting you!

We are a member-supported organization. Everyone who works for Minnesota Atheists is a volunteer, but getting our word out does cost money. This site, our website, mailing newsletters, filming a cable TV show and participating in public events like festivals and parades all add up. We can do all of this thanks to you!

In-person Trivia night (Sundays @ Venn Brewery)
Sun, Apr 26 · 5:30 PM CDT
Venn Brewing, 3550 E 46th St, Suite 140, Minneapolis, mn, US
Some of our brainiac members are interested in testing their recall of all things trivia - gasp! - with other people present at Venn Brewery in SE Minneapolis. Looks like they have lots of tasty sounding beers there. For food, there is a food truck scheduled but the taproom allows you to bring your own food if you'd like to do that instead.

Trivia starts at 6:00 PM. You may find people arrive around 5:30 to socialize and hopefully find a table. If you are new, look at some profiles of RSVP'ers on Meetup to help you find the group. (Mike won't be attending often so try a few other names)

!!! Parking is limited in this neighborhood. There are signs posted noting only two hour parking before 8:00PM so be careful. Arriving early may help in finding a spot but that may require you moving your car - don't get towed!. The picture (Venn diagram?) shows a cul-de-sac on E 45th St, just north of Venn, where there may be extra space but with the same 2 hr restrictions. It is a great time to check out the Blue Line with a light rail station just a parking lot away from the Venn.

This is a repeating event. You can just show up but an RSVP here would be appreciated just to help attendees connect. Have fun with whomever shows up. Winning is an added perk! Our historic Trivia group name is "No Dissonance, you have to back it up" - using it isn't a requirement but "Why not!".

Please follow CDC guidance. Currently, masks expected when not at your table, but things change too.

The group of people attending each week can/will change. There is no official host so have fun with whomever becomes your teammates that week.

Venn's promo:
Venn Brewing Company invites you to come out and play. Venn brews fantastic batches of beer, and once those batches are empty, that’s it. Each beer is a new, flavorful experiment. The taproom is literally a few steps away from the METRO Blue Line’s 46th Street Station, and rotating food trucks will do your belly right.

Day of Reason at the Capitol!
Mon, May 4 · 1:30 PM CDT
Minnesota State Capitol, 75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard., Saint Paul, MN, US
Rally for Secular Government on the National Day of Reason
Monday, May 4, 1:30-2:30 PM
Minnesota State Capitol Rotunda
75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, St Paul, MN

Minnesota Atheists has been hosting a rally for the National Day of Reason at the Minnesota State Capitol nearly every year since 2005! Cohosts this year include Rochester Area Free Thinkers and HumanistsMN.

With Christian nationalist influence in Federal Government, it has never been so important to affirm our commitment to the constitutional wall of separation between religion and government, and to celebrate reason as the guiding principle of our secular democracy.

The program will include August Berkshire, Heather Hegi, and Grant Steves from Minnesota Atheists; David Breeden from Humanists MN; and Patrick Elliot from FFRF. We also expect legislators to stop by to address the crowd. We have had anywhere from two to seven State Representatives and State Senators speak at our event. Legislators that plan to speak this year include Rep. Mike Freiberg (43B), Rep. David Gottfried (40B), Rep. Andy Smith (25B), Rep. Athena Hollins (66B), and Rep. Cedrick Frazier (43A).

We can't control what the legislative schedule is going to be for the day which impacts their attendance, but we can control how we show up! Please, put this rally on your calendar, take a long lunch break, take the afternoon off, or make a day of it! Help us make a strong showing for this year's Day of Reason.
