What we’re about
We are focused on (1) building community for non-religious people in the lowcountry, (2) practicing secular values through mutual aid and volunteer service, and (3) engaging in activism, particularly around defending the first amendment guarantee of separation of state and church. We are based in Charleston, South Carolina and are a chapter of the American Humanist Association.
Founded in 1994, our members are freethinkers of many kinds. We call ourselves agnostics, atheists, skeptics, secular humanists, rationalists and scientific naturalists. We are an all volunteer, member supported organization. We welcome you and all who are interested in participating in our friendly community. Our events are open to members and non-members alike.

Friendly Infidels Movie Club: Spirited
Deb & Rob Britt's House, 1236 Downer Dr, Charleston, SC, USCome watch Spirited with your humanist friends, hosted by Deb & Rob Britt in their home.
Spirited (2022) is a musical comedy reimagining of A Christmas Carol in which the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) selects a new “perp” each year to redeem, only to find himself challenged by Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds), a charismatic but morally slippery media consultant who may be beyond saving. As Present attempts to guide Clint through the usual ghostly lessons, Clint turns the tables, prompting Present to confront his own unresolved past and question the entire redemption system. Filled with big musical numbers, sharp humor, and an unexpectedly earnest heart, the film explores whether people—and even ghosts—can truly change.
You can park on the street, but please don’t block any of the neighbors’ driveways.
We will order pizza, but you are also invited to bring any snacks, treats or beverages you’d like to share.17 attendees
