Omnipresent Atheists
http://www.meetup.com/omnipresentatheists/
Since when does 'god' have a monopoly on omnipresent?
Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches!
Join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'.
Heathen Chicks
http://atheists.meetup.com/713/
So how many of us girls have ever been out to an atheist/freethought/humanist group, and been one of a few, or even the only female there? It's often intimidating for many women, and their search for like-minded people often ends there.
Well that is about to change! Come join ladies from all of Central Ohio's "reasonable" groups for drinks, dinner, or just dessert!
Secular Humanistic Judaism of Columbus
