About us
Minnesota Atheists is Minnesota's oldest and largest atheist organization. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization that seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society, provides a community for nonbelievers, educates the public about atheism, and promotes separation of state and church. We help make atheism part of mainstream society. We look forward to meeting you!
We are a member-supported organization. Everyone who works for Minnesota Atheists is a volunteer, but getting our word out does cost money. This site, our website, mailing newsletters, filming a cable TV show and participating in public events like festivals and parades all add up. We can do all of this thanks to you!

Written by Joe DiPietroJoin us for the final dress rehearsal of "Conscience". The cost is $5.00 at the door. Cash preferred. NO LATE SEATING.
Play Description:
Margaret Chase Smith was the first woman elected in Maine, and was the first woman the state elected to the Senate. And in 1950, she became the first senator to stand on the Senate floor and publicly call out Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, who lied to gain power and exploit anti-Communist hysteria, ruining the lives of those who opposed him. Senator Smith’s “Declaration of Conscience” speech was a public act of defiance at a time when both Democrats and Republicans were cowed into silence for fear of retribution. After standing up for what she believed in, Margaret Chase Smith was shunned by her colleagues, challenged in a primary, and threatened by McCarthy. Conscience is the story of a remarkable, yet forgotten, woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down during a pivotal time in our country’s history.There is also a Pay-What-You-Can performance on Monday, April 6, 2026, 7:30 pm
PARKING:
1. Parking is NOT free at parking meters in the evening.
2. There is a surface parking lot directly across the street from Theatre in the Round, behind The Corner Bar, where the cost is $5.00. HOWEVER, THIS LOT WAS CLOSED THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE.

Flying Spaghetti Monster Dinner (lunch) at Yarusso's
Yarusso Bros Italian Restaurant, 635 Payne Ave, St Paul, MN, USJoin us for our 5th Sunday Flying Spaghetti Monster Dinner at St. Paul's oldest family owned Italian Restaurant, Yarusso Bros.
We have found that doing a lunch instead of a supper works well. They provide limited table service, please plan to order at the counter. Come in and say "Hi" to us at the table, grab a chair, and then go to the counter to order your drinks and food. The food might come out a bit staggered, but that's alright.
Yarusso's has a free parking lot, affordable prices, friendly staff, great atmosphere, and custom recipe meatballs which would make the Flying Spaghetti Monster proud. The website even shows a patron with a cullender on her head!
If you're scratching your head right now, it means you've yet to meet a Pastafarian. Fear not, this web site will explain it all: http://www.venganza.org/
So why the tradition of doing this on 5th Sundays? Well, it started as a fundraiser for our Atheists Talk Radio Program. Listen to past episodes at: http://atheisttalk.libsyn.com/ A 5th Sunday meant an extra program we had to pay for that month. We have taken a break from producing this program so we will ask for donations to our general fund. We will pass an envelope around for you to donate if the Flying Spaghetti Monster moves you to.
Please RSVP, indicate the number in your group, and keep your RSVP up-to-date. This will help with keeping our reservation up-to-date.
