If you are interested in establishing an active Humanist organization in San Francisco, please join this Meetup. As meetings and events are organized, you will be invited. We envision discussions, speakers, social activities and events to work for a better world. For those who may not be familiar with humanism, below is the Humanist Manifesto III, which describes what many Humanists believe.

We have been meeting monthly in Foster City since 09/2007 and would like to increase the number of people at our monthly discussions. We are a Charter Chapter of the American Humanist Association and each month discuss a book, article or other reading related to humanism, skepticism, free thought, etc. We are also looking to take action through the AHA action website or other local related groups. If you are a free thinker, skeptic, humanist, atheist, agnostic, etc. This is the group for you.

This is a group to support individuals who have shed the doctrine they were most likely "brought up" in. As a former Christian, I do not have support from friends and family to pursue truth and have an honest discussion. We believe in the power of evidence, science and a healthy debate.
Freethinkers are those that have the courage to question commonly held beliefs. Whether you call yourself a believer, non-believer, atheist, agnostic, philosopher, scientist, artist, seeker, or scholar you are welcome to join us. We hold monthly talks on a variety of topics including philosophy, belief, religion, history, science, psychology, literature, culture, the arts, and personal relationships. In addition, we participate in activities together such as hikes, movie nights, lectures, sci …

To take God out of the evils of 9/11 and The Bohemian Grove is to present a half-truth about what's going on in our world. There is a plan to bring in a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. We have drawn the line in the sand against such a satanic movement. As The Reformer Martin Luther said, "Anything that is not of Christ is anti-Christ." He also said, "Life is about becoming." We ARE becoming. We Are Christians. Our Missio …
