The Omaha Coalition of Reason is a collaboration of local organizations who share a worldview grounded in reason over superstition, and scientific truth over revealed truth. Omaha CoR brings together humanistic, secular, skeptical and non-theistic organizations in our local area to provide individuals with information, support, and a sense of community. Additionally, Omaha COR gives member organizations and their individual members a way to combine their voice with others who are ready to move society forward with a firm reliance on reason and humanity.
The American Religious Identification Survey reports that 15% of Americans identify themselves an non-religious. This places us as one of the largest minorities in America. So, although you may feel isolated in a sea of fundamentalists, you should know that there are local groups that share your views, and are proud to do so!
We affirm that all have the ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. Our understanding of what is good relies on human reason and compassion, and not on theistic or supernatural beliefs.
Like anyone, we all benefit from a supportive community for friends, charity, and fostering a better understanding of secular values with our neighbors. Atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, humanists, skeptics, non-religious, and the confused are all welcome to join us!
While all of these groups share common ground, each has its own particular emphasis and atmosphere. Some are focused on scientific inquiry and education. Others are focused on ethics and community. Consider participation in one or more of these local groups to help raise awareness that, no matter what you call yourself, non-believers do exist and do count. Your fellow godless neighbors and skeptical thinkers need your support.
