We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …

This meetup group has been started because of the challenges I've had of finding Pathfinder and D&D v3.5 players around that are my own age. I know you're out there and are busy with your professional lives and perhaps you have family obligations as I do. The purpose of this group is to initially meet for a bimonthly game of Pathfinder and to escape from reality a couple times a month. I've had the books for two years now & I've kept putting off this group because other things just keep coming u …

The government is corrupt, broken and appears to be dragging our country down with it. I believe Gary Johnson is the answer. Gov Johnson has been an outspoken advocate for efficient government, balanced budgets, rational drug policy reform, protection of civil liberties, comprehensive tax reform, and personal freedom. As Governor of New Mexico, Johnson was known for his common sense business approach to governing. He eliminated New Mexico's budget deficit, cut the rate of growth in state governm …

We have have two alternating meetups every Thursday for people who have left or are leaving Christianity, as well as occasional fun get-togethers. In everything, we mostly do two things: Provide a kind and thoughtful community for people who are leaving or who have left Christianity. You may find that this is the one place where people not only understand your struggles and isolation, but also get your communion wafer jokes. Engage in serious but OPEN conversation about theological, philosophic …

The Children of the Sun for One People, One Earth: The Melanin Temple I searched to see if there existed any meet up groups for either:  1. The Kemetic Cosmology = The 7 principles of Tehuti and the laws of Maat; 2. The power of Melanin and the subconscious mind = Melanology; and 3. Rational Fasting and the Mucus-Free diet healing system. I could not find any groups meetings in NYC on any of the aforementioned subjects. This is the clarion call for a Gods and Goddess meet up to create a sacred s …

Muslim-ish: searching for truth, rejecting false idols, and fighting for freedom Who are we? We are a group of Ex-Muslims and Muslims of varying degrees of religiosity. What do we want? We want to find the truth, no matter what it is, and fight for our right to follow it. We want to create a safe place for people to exchange thoughts and ideas that we were taught not to talk about. We want to support each other and help each other deal with family questions and formulate answers. We want to gi …

This aim of this group is to raise awareness and stir action among the humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and other like-minded citizens in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam Counties.

Philosophy and Our Lives is a NYC meetup that dwells in the tension between individual life that is lived for the first time, and civilization as a shared creation over generations. Can philosophy be of any value to our being in this world? We read and discuss the uniqueness of the present moment - the philosophy of our time - through the lens of thinkers such as Nietzsche, Camus, Sartre, Adorno, De Beauvoir, Benjamin, Kant, Kierkegaard, Spinoza, Husserl, Habermas, Levinas, Kafka, Althusser, Bub …

Meet other local fans of author Ayn Rand and her philosophy Objectivism—a philosophy of Reason, Purpose, and Self-Esteem that holds human life on this Earth as the standard of all values and your life as an end in itself instead of a means to the ends of others. You are invited, if you are a rational person who: values reason, integrity, independence, and productive work; holds that no one may initiate the use of force against others and a proper government is necessary to secure it; deals with …

Based in Fort Greene, I'd like this meetup to offer fellow rational, free-thinking Brooklynites an opportunity to come together to learn, share, or just sit and stare.

Of course, people of all backgrounds, genders, ages, sexual orientations, races, and even religions are welcome. There is …

Bryant University Rational Non-Theists (BURNT) is a group for Bryant University faculty, staff and students who affirm freethought and free expression without religious privilege. We support secular governance as the only religiously neutral means of promoting the interests of all constituents on campus as well as in civic life.

The world is awakening to the fact that free will is an illusion. Our group is about using this powerful truth to enhance our personal lives. If what we do is not really up to us, how does this change the way we see and react to each other and ourselves? If we can't logically blame or credit each other for anything, how do we evaluate and respond to what we do? If we're merely actors, and not the authors, of our acts, who are we really as human beings? These are just some of the questions we'll …

How does one live a good life? This simple question can be surprisingly difficult to answer. Yet not taking an honest try at answering it (or even worse: ignoring the question entirely) can lead to the risk of misliving one's life. One of the main goals of ancient philosophy in the West was to help guide people in answering this question rigorously and well, and then helping people to live in accordance with their life's philosophy (literally "the love of wisdom"). One of the most successful and …

People work - it's a part of life. But with rampant unemployment, layoffs, low- and no-paying internships, and the constant connectivity of smartphones a gulf has developed between our perceptions of how work should be and the demanding reality. Whether your full time job is in a cubicle, at a coffee shop, or pounding the pavement handing out resumes, you are welcome here. Our goal is to discuss our circumstances, how we deal with them, and develop a better understanding of the kind of world we …
