About ASF

Good without god? Hey, so are we!

We all benefit from a community of friends, good works, and sharing our values with supportive people. Atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, humanists, skeptics, non-religious, “nones,” lost tourists, and the confused are all welcome to join us!

It is often claimed that nonreligious people are rare, but according to a study released in 2012 by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, nearly 20% of our nation’s population – including about a third of all Americans under the age of 30 – have no religious affiliation. Still, non-religious people can feel isolated when the religious community is so organized and outspoken on issues.

We deserve to be heard. Building and participating in a community is the first step in giving ourselves that voice.

And the conversation here is great! Aside from friendly Meetups we also organize volunteer events, discussions, and support for science education. Ideas are always welcome.

Our Goals

  • We want to unite as many Freethinkers in Arkansas as possible. Yes – we have a statewide reach! (Talk to us about finding or starting a secular group in your area.)
  • We want to enrich our secular communities by hosting and developing fun and informative activities and events. Science and learning are cool! Check out our Young Thinkers program, and join us each month for the Salon of the Mind.
  • We will always demand separation of church and state from every level of government. Need help with a local violation? Let us know!
  • Maintain a friendly, healthy relationship with other organizations and the community.
