About us
If you are interested in meeting local SFV atheists and freethinkers for conversation and friendship, this is the group to join! We are a fun group, with some very great people. Our group will give you the sense of community that you might be seeking in your atheistic life!
We welcome atheists, agnostics, skeptics, freethinkers, rationalists, humanists of any flavor, and anyone else who embraces reason and a naturalistic view of the universe.
Our mission is to build thriving atheist communities, empower people to express their secular values, and promote the separation of government and religion.Â

NEW Zoom ID# : Game Night - No praying required
·OnlineOnlineCode Names is the game of choice for the next few meetings.
We open at 6:30 so that newcomers can have time for a tutorial; the first game starts promptly at 7 pm.
It ends when the group agrees—typically around 9—there’s no definite end time. If you log-in late, you can always cheer the players on and still be able to play in the second game of the night.This is a virtual meeting but this doesn't mean the beer has to be virtual - so be sure to sip a nice ale (or whatever you enjoy) as you participate.
No prizes for winning but the honor of doing so can be overwhelming.
(This event is cross-listed and not being led or organized by Atheists United staff/volunteers)
