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!

MNA Online Book Club — Banned Books Week!
·OnlineOnlineJoin us online Sunday October 11th at 2 p.m. for a Banned Book Month book club.
This month we are doing something a little different for our MNA Online Book club meeting. In recognition of Banned Books Week October 4-10, we will each choose a banned book to read and share it with the rest of the group. There are too many excellent banned books to pick just one, so instead each person will share their thoughts on a book of their choosing. You can pick an old favorite you would love to re-read, or maybe something you’ve been meaning to read but haven’t had a chance to get to. This way we can learn about several wonderful books in one sitting and perhaps be inspired to read something you might not have otherwise considered.
There are many lists of banned books out there, so feel free to use any of them to discover a book you’d like to read and share. Fiction or non-fiction, it’s up to you. Here are a couple lists, but you can use any source that works for you.
