What We're About

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.

Our flagship activities include:

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