What we’re about
Atheists in the Asheville / Buncombe area...come chat with this new group. Relax and spend time hanging out with people who, like you, don't believe some god is watching and judging us.
Even though this is a relatively new group we have 99 signed up here at Meetup so far. Of course not all of them come to the meetings.
We usually get together every Sunday at / around 10AM for coffee. Until further notice that is at the cafe at Earth Fare in Asheville, just off Patton.
We also have a book club that meets two times a month and an evening event in Hendersonville once a month. Locations may vary, so please check this space and/or your email for updates. We welcome your suggestions.
Please RSVP if you plan to come to an event. And feel free to tell your contacts about the group.
Would you also like to join our Trivia team "Asheville Atheists"? It's a fun way for us to hang out and get to know each other better. We can let you know when we're going to local trivia contests. There are some in this area most weekdays (but not usually on Fri-Sat-Sun).
Future plans: Maybe a hiking club, movie club and/or game night.
PS Just for fun, let's also talk about phrases we can use in place of "Thank heaven", "Holy cow" etc.
