What we’re about
The Freethinkers Forum of Tallahassee Meetup offers a friendly and educational venue for all to learn and discuss thought-provoking presentations. Those who believe that opinions, religious and otherwise, should be formed based on logic and reason will feel right at home. If you are unfamiliar with freethought or just curious, join in and you'll have an opportunity to learn what freethinkers, humanists, agnostics, atheists, skeptics, and critical thinkers are all about.
Our focus is to provide an environment in which to learn about and discuss a wide variety of subjects including science, social science, medicine, philosophy, religion, history, literature, and current events, to name a few. Meetings begin with a presentation that is not necessarily limited to a secular topic, followed by lively and informative conversation. We meet every Wednesday via Zoom from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. (prior to COVID, we met at UUCT). We start at 7:00 sharp.
