We are an active community of atheists in the greater Los Angeles area.

Our core mission involves:

  • Promoting separation of government and religion.
  • Educating the public about our philosophy and practices.
  • Serving the public good in ways that are exemplary of our values.

We have monthly meetings on the 4th Sunday of each month in the Hollywood area. We get together for informative lectures, to celebrate the seasonal equinoxes and solstices, to watch secular movies, play fun games and more. A complimentary lunch is always served after the general meetings and children are welcome.

We also sponsor special events throughout the month and our affiliate organizations have events all over the Los Angeles area.

Join our community today and get together with us to discuss beliefs and philosophies, deepen your freethought heritage and make new friends.

General Meeting: Movie – Chocolat

Date: Sunday, May 27th, 2012 at 11am.

This month we'll be showing the critically acclaimed movie Chocolat.

Vianne Rocher, an expert chocolatier, travels with her daughter to a tranquil French village that closely adheres to tradition. Vianne opens a Chocolaterie just as the villagers begin observing the forty days of Lent, much to the chagrin of the town mayor.

Vianne wears provocative clothing, does not go to church, has an illegitimate child and does not fit in well with the town’s people. She is nevertheless optimistic about her business. Her friendly and alluring nature begins to win the villagers over one by one, causing the mayor to openly speak against her for tempting the people during a time of abstinence and self-denial.
