WNC Atheists brings together people that find no evidence for the existence of any gods or deities. Are you an atheist, agnostic, skeptic, or freethinker? Then welcome aboard! (Please note: most information about the group, including the names of our members and the locations of some meetups, is kept private from non-members. Unfortunately, we live in a society where there are potentially negative consequences for being public about one's atheism.)

We are parents, gaurdians, and supporters of ethical, freethinking children and youth. We meet for social activities, educational programs, seasonal celebrations, and nature outings that encourage children and youth to ask questions and to deepen trust in their own internal "compass". We affirm the values of  the American Ethical Union and our sponsor, the Ethical Society of Asheville and YouthQuest of Asheville.  We also affirm the values of the American Humanist Association and our local par …

This is a community of atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, and the people who love them.  Some of our members aspire to take an active role in advancing secular values, others seek kindred spirits for good times, many are exploring what it means to be a human, and most of us are doing a little of all of the above. We are mothers, fathers, and children.  We are scientists, doctors, truck drivers, teachers, lawyers, students, business owners, and retired from the grind. We are "the Nones".   …

This group is inclusive of anyone who shares the beliefs of Humanism or Freethought.  Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any dogma.  Humanism believes in the prmacy of human, rather than divine or supernatual matters. We hold a variety of meetups including coffee-shop social chats, book studies, lectures, movie viewing, invited speakers, bar hopping …

This group was started so that the atheists in the upstate could give back to the community. With our facebook and meetup members combined we have over 140 members. We do volunteer work, community service, food drives, and we have adopted South Blackstock Road.  Our billboard should be going up soon also!!

Our group provides support to those who have or are in the process of letting go of supernatural beliefs by providing a community of people in various stages of religious recovery. Our goal is to present thought provoking topics and questions to encourage participation in open discussion. This is not a venue for confrontation or judgement of others. We invite you to join our community and express your thoughts and ideas without worry of being judged. Whatever stage of recovery you are in, we wel …

The purpose of this meetup is to find open-minded people to have some great times and excellent conversations without the fundamentalist nonsense. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
