Tonight was our first meeting... had a fun time with some friendly, free-thinking atheist/humanists from diverse backgrounds.
2nd Wednesdays each month. Book discussions, attending lectures, volunteering, outdoor activities like hiking were discussed. Oddly enough, no human sacrifices.
Check it out here: Morristown Atheist Meetup

When I was in 8th grade, one of my best friends moved to Morristown, NJ.
Straight from the country to the city - was quite a cultural shock for her.

So, you guys get together and just chat and stuff?
I assume because its an Athiest group there is lots of nudity and swinging, yes?

Hi Sylvia, there are some pretty forsaken places in NJ your friend could have ended up instead. Morristown isn't really even a "city" by comparison, at least the way I see it. Large parts of Morris are still semi-rural, with protected parklands and water. Very rich in early American history, too.
At the meetup we had people from Washington state, Texas and Tennessee who talked about adjusting to life here. It's not all Newark and the Turnpike! I love living in this region, yet Manhattan is still less than an hour away. So I feel I have the best of both worlds.
BTW, one of the people just happened to attend school in Alabama. He was telling us AL is a "positive law" state, meaning the laws cover what you can do, as opposed to what you cannot do. Interesting!~Sue

PSacramento, I don't think that's what we meant about volunteering.
But you're welcome to join us and "put it out there" for discussion.

Sue,
You crazy atheists have all the fun !!
Bake sales, book clubs, warm oil massages, group orgies, semi-nude female pillow fights, man...that's the good stuff.
Almost makes a man wanna give up his faith !!

LOL! Sounds like you know a lot more about it than I do. Mr. Betterdaze will be thrilled.

No need to give it up. Faith in humanity to use reason, science and creativity to solve problems and improve lives. Works for myself and others who've thrown off the shackles of religious belief, or happily managed to avoid it altogether.

Thanks, Sylvia, just downloaded the paper for my reading list. You saved me some Googling around!
