IMPORTANT NEWS: On Feb. 11, AFS bought a building which will become the Atlanta Freethought Hall. Please check the Activities page for monthly meeting location as AFS members are in the process of fixing up the AF Hall so the meeting location may vary during this transition from the original AF Center in Roswell and the AF Hall in Smyrna.
