Atheists of Florida (Tampa Bay Region)
Atheists of Florida is a nonprofit, educational corporation created to heighten public awareness about atheism and to monitor state/church separation issues. We disagree with supernatural doctrines while valuing personal liberty as a precious heritage for everyone. As tireless advocates for freedom, honesty and integrity, we promote positive aspirations. Our object is not to condemn, but to inform – not to convert, but to educate. Atheists of Florida serves the needs of a significant and growing nonreligious community of reason.

Portia Westerfield
President
Humanist Society of the Suncoast
We stand at the cusp of a new way of thinking and understanding our world; one which is not bound to the traditions of prosaic beliefs and archaic institutions. To find ourselves in the natural universe, and more intimately, in the lives of others of our kind, is to recognize the true source of our individual humanity. From it flows our ability and responsibility to lead meaningful lives, capable of adding to the greater good and intrinsic beauty of the humanity we share with all. We examine issues of ethics, science, philosophy, politics, history, art, and other aspects of human knowledge and life.

Jim Peterson
President
Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers
Nontheistic service members serve honorably throughout the world–always have; always will. However, nontheists are the last unprotected minority. The nontheistic, whether an atheist, humanist, agnostic, freethinker, or other secular minority, have a strong community. Jason Torpy, a West Point graduate, serves as president of MAAF. He also holds seats on the boards of the Secular Coalition for America and the American Humanist Association.
