Orange County Freethought Alliance  

There are many paths to religious enlightenment – Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and many others. Some of these religions could be described as worshiping the same god, and some clearly can’t.

But when it comes to the non-religious, there are also different paths people are taking with their lives: atheists, agnostics, skeptics, humanists, naturalists, and others. But are they really following a different path? Or is it really the same path with different names? Each of these groups is looking at the world through the lenses of critical thinking, rationality, and science, and excluding from their lives the influences of mysticism, superstition, pseudo-science and anything else that can’t be proven by scientific inquiry.

The Freethought Alliance has been created as a way to bring all such people together under a single umbrella that says, “Stay away from me with your mumbo-jumbo!”  

Our mission:  To offer a place for people of non-belief to gather, discuss cultural and political issues and to improve the quality of life for the non-religious.

The inaugural event of the Freethought Alliance will be a one-day conference in May of 2010 in Costa Mesa, California.  Please consider attending this event with the many speakers of freethought from around the country.
