If you’re a progressive atheist and want to enjoy the company of other free-thinkers, you are warmly invited to have lunch with us. We’ll talk about whatever interests us, make new friends and make sense together using rational discourse and wisdom garnered from our lives. Our purpose is social, our philosophy is skeptical humanist, and our politics are progressive. What is a Humanist? Read it here: https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/humanism-capital-h/ We support the Humanist Manifesto III. Read it here: https://americanhumanist.org/what-is-humanism/manifesto3/

Humanism - Informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion. Natural answers to natural questions
