  • Secular Atheists
    Name:
    Secular Atheists
    Status: Member
    Description: What this group should be: This group should give those secular individuals a place to congregate and attempt to create a beliefnet community with like-minded members. The goal should include maintaining a positive face for those who believe that secularism is important to the overall evolution and success of the human race as a whole and connected existence.

    What this group should not be: A negative and divisive attack on religion and faith as a whole. While secularism is based in atheistic concepts, it is important to be respectful and understanding of the realities that perpetrate theism in this world, while still pointing out the negative aspects of an ancient and misguided belief system.
