Where curiosity is celebrated
At Atheists United, we understand better than anyone the importance of creating a safe, secular space for people to explore their ideas, identities, and values. Youth should be celebrated, not shamed, for asking honest questions.
According the US Secular Survey:
- 15% lower rate of depression among youth active in a local secular community
- More than a third of secular youth had negative experiences with family due to their nonreligious identity
- One third of secular youth had negative experience in education due to their nonreligious identity
- Nearly 50% of young people are religiously unaffiliated

Atheists Volunteer! Glendale Highway Cleanup 🛣🧹🦺
Holly Drive, Holly Dr, Glendale, CA, USIf you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 2 Freeway in Glendale! We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts!
Atheists United is a community nonprofit that provides programming for Greater LA's million+ atheists and agnostics. We've proudly been hosting highway cleanups in Los Angeles for almost two decades.
What to wear:
Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen or long sleeve shirt. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up later in the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves, and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16.
Lunch or Refreshments:
We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup
How long:
The highway clean-up will take about 2 hours; plus optional get-together for refreshments afterward.
How to find us:
We'll meet at the Holly exit, off of the 2 freeway in Glendale (See map). Call Steve if you can't find the group 310-686-8862.
RSVP:
Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is a common courtesy. This is also important because we can't do the cleanup with only one person attending, for safety reasons.
Other details:
Please post any questions in the comments and I'll update the event with more details.

Picnic in the Park (South Pasadena)
Garfield Park, 1000 Park Avenue, South Pasadena, CA, USJoin us for a family-friendly community picnic in beautiful Garfield Park in South Pasadena.
Bring a meal, a snack, or whatever else makes you happy. We’ll provide a casual, pressure-free space to hang out with other atheists so you can enjoy a secular Sunday morning.
Sometimes we’re on the grass and we recommend you bring a blanket or lawn chair.
The park is dog-friendly, kid-friendly (playground!) and has bathrooms.
Look for the Atheists United signage (and the gaggle of happy heathens) by the picnic tables near the playground. Our exact location in the park will vary depending on table availability.Can’t wait to see you there!
