FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:
What is the point of having an atheist meetup group?
A: (1) To allow like minded people to have a supportive environment in which
to meet and share
philosophies, information, personal stories.

take time out from an increasingly religious community to just be yourself without
having
to defend your ideas of religion.
(3) To join others in organizing activism.
(4) To help people with serious doubts overcome their fear of leaving their
church.
Q: Are atheists
communists, devil worshipers, baby killers, etc.?
A: No. Atheists simply have no belief in God or gods. Religious people reject
the
validity of the gods of other religions. Atheists take it one step further.
We believe in one less god than they do.
Q: How can
atheists be moral without God?
A: Morality existed before the god myths. Tribes of people determined which
actions
would benefit themselves and their communities. These social mores became codified
into religions later.
Q: Why do
atheists hate God?
A: We don't hate what does not exist. Atheists find no credible evidence for
the
existence of God or
gods. Many atheists have come to that conclusion from an honest
search for the truth and through study of the entire bible, not just the parts
taught in
religious institutions.
