As increasingly demented dictator (organizer) of this group, I have agreed to a "coup" that hanged the title from "Secularists" to "Freethinkers." I am confident that either this name will last for a year or so, or God will strike me dead for allowing it to happen. (change made January 18, 2013). If you are unhappy about it, start your own group. You are free to think. Not everyone on Whidbey Island is a religious believer. There are lots of interesting , useful, and healthful things to do on W …

This group is for all of the atheist/agnostics (whatever you would like to think of yourself as) this side of the Puget Sound. This is a group for open minded people to get together at a coffee shop (after all this IS Washington), pub or restaurant and talk about their views of the world, recent news, philosophy, or whatever their cup of tea (or coffee) happens to be. This is also a group for atheists/agnostics who just want to be around other atheists/agnostics for a little while because they s …

This is a gathering of like-minded folks in the Seattle area who are passionate readers of the author and thinker C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, the Chronicles of Narnia, Perelandra, the list goes on and on of works that have already become heritage classics in religious philosophy and Christian thought (not to mention a few that have been overlooked!). In a desire to explore his books and his world, Narnian or otherwise, we're attempting to focus on one book for each time …

This group is for people who like to mix philosophical discourse and drinking. If you're looking for carefully moderated debate, look elsewhere. These discussions are unstructured intellectual free-for-alls - the only two constants are booze and a keen interest in the nature of reality and human existence. We take philosophy very seriously, but we don't think taking it seriously demands that you act like an academic when discussing it. No formal training is necessary -  no one will be expected …

Whatcom Freethought group.

Analytic philosophy is, by far, the standard type of philosophy taught in Philosophy Departments throughout North America, Britain, Scandinavia, and beyond. Analytic philosophers aim for perspicuity and results. Core areas of analytic philosophy include ethics, epistemology (knowledge), metaphysics (e.g., free will, theism/atheism), philosophy of mind (e.g., consciousness), philosophy of science, and political philosophy. However, this group will discuss the lighter topics and presume little or …

Meet with other local ex-religious people to discuss how the rejection of dogma has affected our lives. The purpose is just to have "coffee" and talk to each other about what it is like to have left Christianity or any other faith. Come to meet other individuals who were enlightened enough to see through the lies of religion. Because of the nature of this group, devotees of any faith, such as Christianity, are asked not to join. People who have left any belief system such as Judaism or Islam are …
