We believe in using COMMON SENSE IDEAS to build a healthier and happier community. What do we mean by Common Sense? We agree with the Webster's definition: "Beliefs or propositions that most people believe prudent and of SOUND judgment without reliance on esoteric knowledge or study or research, but based upon what they see as knowledge held by people in common.  Thus common sense (in this view) equates to the knowledge and experience most people ALREADY HAVE." We believe that even with ALL O …

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 …

Get together with other atheists on the North Shore for various social and recreational outings without having to travel into Boston! This is not a discussion group, although our members are free to discuss whatever they wish. It's really for people who have already done the research and concluded that the existence of deities is just like the existence of fairies...no …

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.

This group was created because I feel that we need more open-ended discussion groups that allow us to develop community and meet other freethinkers whose thinking is focused on science, philosophy, art, politics, innovative social thinking, agnosticism, atheism, humanism, current events, culture, intellectualism and community development. This group does not espouse anti-religion or anti-cultural movements, nor support a particular political or social platform. All thinkers of all social, politi …
