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!

Join us for the final dress rehearsal of "Blithe Spirit". The cost is $5.00 at the door. Cash preferred. NO LATE SEATING.
Play Description:
In this sparkling supernatural comedy, novelist Charles Condomine invites a medium to conduct a séance – but instead of inspiration, he accidentally conjures his late (and mischievous) first wife, Elvira. As Elvira wreaks ghostly havoc on Charles and his current marriage, things go from strange to absolutely otherworldly. With razor-sharp wit, eccentric characters, and Coward’s signature charm, Blithe Spirit is a delightfully witty reminder that the past has a way of lingering… especially when it’s not quite ready to leave.There is also a Pay-What-You-Can performance on Monday, June 29, 2026, 7:30 pm
PARKING:
1. Parking is NOT free at parking meters in the evening, but it is not expensive. About $5.
