Meet local atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, scientific naturalists and other friends of reason for conversation and friendship! We often meet on Portland's West side but welcome people from anywhere. This group meets socially to discuss how to live and raise a family in a society greatly influenced by religious beliefs. We have a robust love of both life and reason and we bring that sentiment to our gatherings. Meetings are informal and social. Conversation is spirited and polite. …
This is the newly formed PDX branch of the original Atheists Etcetera group based in Indianapolis, IN. We moved here, so thought we would bring a piece of our awesome group with us.

Most of our events are in downtown PDX and The Pearl. Events include coffee and conversation …
Finally, 20- and 30-something atheists, agnostics & skeptics have our own group! This is the place to find each other and build our own community and culture. NOTE: While we're getting started up and working out the kinks with Meetup.com, "Jack" will appear as the organizer. The actual organizer is Troy Carter, who is a proper member of the 20-30 demographic. (Jack is a 50-something who's helping us start the group under his Meetup account.)
Meetup details are available only to members.

Sooner or later, such a religion will emerge." ...Carl Sagan What is this group all about? It is about exploring 'spirituality' (meditation, life's big questions, etc.) without the belief in god(s) nor the supernatural.

Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. This group is formed to facilitate discussion between Christians and atheists (but people of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend).
