April Public Meeting: The Future of the Atheist Movement

Published by Minnesota Atheists on

How has the atheist movement changed and where should we go from here?

We will have a discussion between panelists who are Minnesota Atheists leaders and everyone in the audience who would like to be part of the conversation. We welcome your thoughts and ideas. August Berkshire, and perhaps other panelists, will have just returned from the American Atheists national convention in Philadelphia, March 29-31, 2024.

Many surveys show the continued rise of “Nones” (people with no religion) as a percentage of the U.S. population. This includes an increase of the percentage of people who are atheists.

The internet has made it easier to find arguments against god-belief, and social media has made it easier for atheists to connect with other atheists. These are two roles that local atheist groups typically fulfilled. Even so, people do like to get together from time to time.

What should be the focus of Minnesota Atheists going forward? What would you like to see Minnesota Atheists do?
