ACA is now an affiliate of the Austin Coalition of Reason. Austin CoR put up a billboard in Austin on June 28th on I-35 at Grand Avenue Parkway, facing North. This billboard draws attention to local Austin atheist groups, including the ACA. See news for more.

Who We Are

The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

What We Do

Our flagship activities include:

The Atheist Experience weekly cable access TV show
The Non Prophets biweekly Internet radio show
The ACA Lecture Series monthly public lecture, usually the 1st Sunday of the month
A number of community service activities
The Austin Atheist monthly newsletter posted at the beginning of each month
Atheist Eve Cartoon updated at the beginning of each month

Want to meet us? The first Sunday of the month we are usually at the Austin History Center from 12:15-2:00pm for our monthly lecture. Other Sunday mornings, we meet at Romeo's, 11:30am-1:00pm, 1500 Barton Springs Rd. [Google Map].

If you're not a morning person, come hang out with us some evening. Thursday evening is happy hour at the Dog & Duck Pub, 406 W. 17th St. near the Capitol [Google Map] starting at 7:00 pm.
