The Atlanta Freethought Society is a member-run organization dedicated to advancing freethought and protecting the rights and reputation of freethinkers, agnostics, atheists and humanists.
We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about living a good life free from religion through attending AFS speeches, debates, and discussions. We employ protests, letters to the editor, broadcast appearances, and any other reasonable and civil means available to achieve our mission.
- We define freethought as “the forming of opinions about life in general and religion in particular on the basis of reason and the evidence of our senses, independently of tradition, authority, or established belief.”
- We actively support a strict separation of church and state as the best means to guarantee liberty for all, regardless of religious belief or lack of belief.
- We seek to educate ourselves on many topics but especially on religion and non-religion. We do this through a series of thought-provoking speakers and programs, and by maintaining a web forum and an extensive library of freethought, religious, and related books, pamphlets, videotapes, and audiotapes.
- We provide an organization where freethinkers and non-theists can develop friendships, talk freely, socialize and enjoy each other’s company. We do not discriminate against anyone on such irrelevant grounds as race, sexual orientation, age, gender, class, or physical disability.
- We welcome members and leaders of all political parties and preferences. Because we are designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) educational organization, contributions to AFS are tax deductible.
Any who are like-minded are welcome to join us.

Hello,
I am interested in joining but find that meetings are planned for Sunday. Are there other days for meetings?
Thanks for your time,
Angelina
Are there many Anarchists/Voluntaryisys at these meetings?
Is this group strictly free from religious “authority” or is it also free from statism?
I am very curious to learn more.
Thank you!
I have those same questions and am looking for such a group around here also. Based on their website menu, they look actively involved in legislative processes and legitimizing political processes in support of specific bills they would like to see as law. Looks to be mostly statist world view at first glance.
Funny that you’re in a Church. No thanks.
I’m doing research project on religion, and have two questions. 1. Do you consider free thought to be a religion? And 2. What do y’all believe?
Thanks
Hello.
Do you have any options for dual membership? Or simply pay twice?
Ura Nodda Freethout, you are anti religious bigots who do not base your thinking on real science & evidence , but hate. Look at discrimination clause…religion is not in there. But, that’s okay. Continue to build your hate not right for America, and may GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL. We all stand before Him.
Hi there. I’d like to know the meeting times
THE YELLOW COW
A HUMANIST/GREEN BOOK PERSECUTED BY EVANGELICALS IN BRAZIL
Dear friends, we are a HUMANIST NGO in Rio de Janeiro, named “Come Together,” whose work is to assist children in need of psychological guidance. We are freethinking humanists, pro-Hellenism, and environmentalists.
It is our plan to connect our NGO to International Humanist Organizations, but two hurdles have troubled our carrying out this goal: opposition and tough criticism from religious organizations, mainly Evangelicals, and a lack of books and works of art to display. Protestant Christians have burned our books in public squares.
Amazon Books has published literary works by the author we deem THE BEST HUMANIST FICTIONIST IN BRAZIL, Paul Costa Gavin. Part of the copyright of Paul’s book was transferred to our organization. PC Gavin’s novel we are authorized to trade is called THE YELLOW COW (Amazon Books.) It describes the true origin of Christianity–a man named Jesus Christ never existed–and denounces the many lies and astonishing violence the Christians have developed to turn their superstitious religion into the only one in Western Culture and destroy the whole Greco-Roman culture.
Therefore, we ask for your help. If you buy THE YELLOW COW, read it, and recommend it to your friends, you’ll be giving us the support we need to fulfill our major purpose.
Please go to the Amazon Books website, type Paul Costa Gavin or The Yellow Cow in the blank space, and read the synopsis of our book. You will also find this synopsis after our Director’s signature below. Thank you very much for your help.

The Yellow Cow
(Synopsis)
The Yellow Cow is a tragicomic humanist novel about a young man from Ireland (Eire) named Llywelyn O’Dweyer, whose purpose in life is to acquire transcendent wisdom. Living in the early years of Christianity’s existence, it is easy for him to observe that this religion is just a copy of many others that had existed in the Roman Empire for centuries. However, the destruction of the Greco-Latin culture, which the Galileans had been savagely perpetuating all around the Mediterranean Sea, is only a reference for the young Irishman because the Greek culture had never disembarked in Ireland, so the Christians were not interested in ravaging the culture of that country as they had been doing in the rest of the territory of the Roman Empire. The young Irishman elects the discovery of the true origins of Christianity as an important part of his search for Truth. Nevertheless, the Christian patriarchs had already taken over the political power in Rome and forbade lay researchers to consult any books or references regarding the true origins of Christianity. Just as the lad is about to give up his research, he has a series of dreams that tell him when, where, why, and how Christianity was invented, and by whom this religion had been contrived, for he knows that Jesus Christ–as well as all the characters connected with his life–never existed as a historical human being. It’s all plagiarized legend from earlier religions. Every day Llywelyn wakes up just before daybreak and takes note of the dreams he had that night. As time goes on, he gradually organizes his dreams until he feels it is possible to make them into four stories. These dreams tell him all about the scheme set up by the big bosses of Christianity to enslave the human mind and–in appearance, forever, as the Christians believe– to stop the evolution of humankind. Llywelyn’s approach is not only historical but psychological as well, as he detects all the ruses that the bigwigs of Christianity were using to turn human beings into mental and sensitive eunuchs. The final chapter is funny because in this part the author gives up the previous tragicomic style and prefers picaresque humor. In this concluding chapter, when Llywelyn is living with Sophia of Mytilene, he finds out who really founded the Christian religion. Readers will be surprised as to who, and why Christianity was invented.
