Description: Minnesota Atheists is Minnesota's oldest and largest atheist organization. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, educational organization that seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society and to maintain separation of state and church. Our bylaws are available here. Each year we hold eight monthly members meetings with guest speakers (Jan.-May, Sept.-Nov.), three picnics (June-Aug.), and a Winter Solstice banquet (Dec.). We have a full calendar of events, such as dinners, movie nights, game nights, discussion groups, book clubs, a how to debate class and many others. To find out about these events, sign up for A.W.E. - Atheists Weekly E-mail. We produce a public access cable TV program, "Atheists Talk," and a weekly podcast of the same name. We offer speakers to the community free of charge. We specialize in presentations to high school and community college comparative religion classes. Minnesota Atheists is a democratic organization with elected representatives who serve on a board for a one year term unless reelected. You may click on the board member's email to contact them directly. George Kane currently serves Minnesota Atheists as the Secretary, Public Relations Officer, Rapporteur of the Public Relations Committee and member of the Newsletter Editorial Advisory Board. He is also an interviewer on Atheist Talk Radio and works on both sides of the camera on the cable program. For nearly a decade he has each Friday sent out Atheist Weekly e-mail to a distribution of hundreds, and he has in the past served as President and Chair. George came to the atheist conclusion when he was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, where he graduated with a degree in philosophy in 1970. At that time he thought that religion was no longer politically important, but he changed his mind with the rise of the religious right in the 1980s. He moved to Minnesota in 1994, and joined Minnesota Atheists a couple of years later. Hello! My name is Crystal, and I am a militant atheist, although you would never guess that by my sunny disposition. I am literally happy every single day, and nothing much gets me down. I owe this mostly to the fact that I have found another wonderful atheist to share my life with. I have never felt more proud or sure of myself since I met him, and now I know that just being around other atheists really helps you feel confident in yourself!
