What We Believe

We are atheists. What that simply means is that we do not believe in the existence of a God, or any similar supernatural being. We are in all walks of life and cover the entire political spectrum.

We believe in no dogma of any kind. Instead, we believe in thinking, in asking questions and in seeking the truth. We believe in the power of the human intellect to solve the mysteries of the universe and the miseries of the world. We believe that unthinking reliance on a supernatural being is an insult to human intelligence and an affront to human dignity.

An atheist ... is a man who destroys chimeras harmful to the human race, in order to lead man back to nature, to experience, and to reason. — Baron d'Holbach

What We Hope To Accomplish

For too long atheists have been on the sidelines. After all, what harm is it for people to have a "security blanket," for them to seek comfort in some beliefs? However, recent events made it clear that we can no longer sit by idly while the danger to our civilization increases.

We hope to raise the public's awareness about the dangers of religion. True, the dangers are from extremists, not the large majority of church-goers. But the moderates provide a substrate for the fanatics to grow.

How Can You Help?

It's time now for all atheists to "come out." We need you to be visible, to be a role model, to let the world see that a perfectly viable alternative is available, that life can be rich, fulfilling, joyous, ethical and meaningful without relying on fear of a supernatural being. We feel that it is our duty, the duty of all atheists, to stand up and proudly proclaim their nonbelief, to set a good role model for the younger generation to emulate.
