NYC Atheists also sponsors numerous specialty groups and community activities including:

  • Street Tabling – On Saturdays during the summer we man a booth at Columbus Circle in front of the Time Warner Building to engage with interested passers-by about atheism.
  • Author’s Group – This invitation-only group is dedicated to helping atheist authors to find their literary voice and ultimately get published. Contact group leader Jane Everhart if interested.
  • Blood Donation Drives
  • Holiday Parties
  • Atheist-themed Stage and Film Events

Check our calendar for upcoming events!

The following are our regular meetings that we have on Wednesdays and Fridays.

BELIEVE IN GOD · LOSE ALL REALITY
The Atheists/Secular Meetup

All are welcome!
Including those who are not Atheists and are inquiring. Agnostics, non-theists, freethinkers, and theists, too!
Atheism is not a belief, a religion, a faith, or an opinion. It is a conclusion.

RULES for In-Person Meeting:

  1. GROUP PROMOTION: Each group may bring flyers or posters advertising membership, donations, and meetings.
  2. DRINKING: Bring your own booze should be limited to beer and wine, no hard liquors. Everyone should drink responsibly and don’t get sloshed. Save the hard drinking for the after parties in outside bars.
  3. RESPECT FOR DIFFERENCES: While there is overlap among the groups, not every group is the same and thinks the same. Respect each other’s differences and different ideologies. Look for common ground not for things to hate. We’re all friends here, treat each other as such.
  4. ARGUMENTS: Listen to each other’s opinion completely in good faith. Ask questions about other’s points instead of immediately dismissing. Approach taboo subjects–such as sex, religion, and politics–with strangers cautiously; back out if getting heated. Agree to disagree and walk away if necessary.
  5. RESPECT FOR THE MEETING HOUSE: Use appropriate trash/recycling cans and clean up after yourselves. Leave the Meeting House better than you found it. Respect the neighborhood, don’t act foolishly on the streets when entering and leaving or loitering.
  6. NO ELECTIONEERING: Due to tax restrictions for many groups being §501(c)(3) tax-exempt, do not discuss, promote, denigrate, or leave/display/hand out materials for any candidate, campaign, party, or proposition on any upcoming election. No electioneering during the event. Other activities prohibited by tax-restrictions are also not allowed.
  7. SELF-RECOGNITION: Try to speak from your own experiences and own your intentions and impacts. Recognize your own privileges and different backgrounds.
  8. CONFIDENTIALITY: Meetings are private despite being open to the public. Recordings are prohibited. You may share what you learned, but not direct quotes and identities.
  9. MEETING MODERATION: The organizers, hosts, co-hosts, moderators, and discussion leaders will use various methods available to ensure compliance with the rules and maintain decorum.

Attending any meeting or event implies agreement with the above rules.
