Sacramento Freethinkers, Atheists, & Nonbelievers (FAN)

Firstly: 👉 Honor your RSVP and keep it updated on Meetup. Greatly appreciated. 😀
Secondly: We must have 3 persons RSVP'g to move forward (excluding me). Lacking that number will force a cancellation on the day prior. Always check the site for cancellations - a good practice with any meetup event!

Reason Center is excited to continue our in-person Literacheer 🎉🎉events! We'll conduct these in our library's seating areas.
Come and enjoy the weekend afternoon by discussing books with fellow thinkers.

Everyone will get a chance to share their ideas about any book of their choice—any genre, fiction or nonfiction. It's a great way to keep abreast of what like-minded people are reading.

👉 Guidelines

• Let’s follow common sense decency in choice of books.
• Have a book in mind for discussion - even if you are still reading it.
• Avoid unrelated and/or prolonged discussions that veer off topic from the book.
• Try to keep the book topics accessible to all. A topic you would bring up at a cocktail party or public function.
• Be nice. Focus on the "cheer" part of the event.

👉 Optional to bring your snacks to share with others. The organizers will bring complementary treats.

This event is typically cross-posted to the Sacramento Freethinkers, Atheists and Nonbelievers (SacFAN) meetup groups. We may cancel IF we do not have a critical mass of people.

Do you like to hang out with local like-minded people? Want a chance to get to know FANs in smaller groups? Or do you just get hungry on Sunday mornings? JOIN US at Mel's Diner for what we call our "Blasphemy Breakfast", not that we blaspheme that much, but atheist-related topics are known to come up at times.

This is a great event to start with, if you haven't been to SacFAN Meetup events before. Also a great group of people to answer any atheist questions you might have, help you learn more about all the freethinking goings-on in the region, or help you any way we can. It's always a breath of fresh air to have brunch with like-minded friends. And we'll surely be friends once we've met you.

I recommend their malts, omelets, biscuits n gravy, and grilled cheese. It's all good. And everyone's friendly here.

Change of Venue: Beginning in 2024, we have decided to change to a new location that will offer more space, whether we want to meet inside or out. We will be meeting at Mast Coffee at 1430 28th Street.

The history of ancient Christianity is an endlessly fascinating topic. Don Fox and Steve Thoreson are facilitating this meet up to review the history of Rome, religions of the Roman empire, Gnosticism, Mystery cults, history of Christian persecutions, biographies of major Christians, the history of the Bible and many other related topics. If you ever wanted to sort out Eusebius from Clement, or Constantine from Diocletian, or the Vulgate from the Septuagint, then this group is for you.

Previous biblical knowledge is not required to participate.

We will be meeting every third Sunday. Each meeting a specific topic will be covered. Check the comment section to find out what the current readings and topics of discussion are.
