Announcing Bay Area Atheists, Agnostics, Freethinkers & Skeptics Facebook Group

Our Meetup Group, Bay-Area-Atheists-Agnostics-Humanists-Freethinkers-Skeptics, is the third largest atheist Meetup Group in the world. It got that way because it provides a home to the greater secular community of the Bay Area, a place where their events can be announced. This includes our Skeptic friends, whose message is vitally important to our community. Many have suggested that we also have a similar Facebook Group that would announce meetings and also provide a forum for discussion for those interested.

Corey Limbauch has made this group possible by generously volunteering to provide administration.  So please join us. And we invite groups to post their events here, just as they do on our Meetup.
