All of us have some sort of "philosophy of life," even though we may not have verbalized it. Here you can get ideas for your own philosophy of life. You can see what others think of your own philosophical ideas, and you can help others to become clearer in their own thinking. When there is difference of opinion, we have an opportunity for "friendly debate," a very growth-promoting experience. Bill Van Fleet

Our group will focus on treating people with respect and understanding based on the concept that such behavior is based in ethics and not on religious imp …

This group is dedicated to promoting positive atheism and to dispelling the negative connotations that the atheism label brings with it. We want to promote the separation of church and state and raise awareness to legislation that disrupts this notion.
