Welcome to PSF!  If you're looking for a sense of community, or if you just want to meet some like-minded friends--people who think outside the box when it comes to life--we are your group. One-fifth of American adults--and one-third of Americans under 30--have no religious affiliation. Secularism is growing, but freethinkers are still a minority, and it can be sobering to pursue a well-informed world view.  This group is a place for freethinkers of all kinds to discuss our viewpoints and make c …

If you write, chances are someone wants to read it. If they'd want to read it, let's make sure that when they do read it, they want to read more! That means you're going to have to accept some basic realities, the first of which is: not all writers get paid for their work. Personally, I think that's a shame. If you're a writer, I want you to get paid! I want you to develop a reader-base so you can get your imagined realities out there for other people to enjoy! So, what this group will be …

Most of the activities I plan are open to entire families and participants of all ages and skill levels.  I try to avoid any physically demanding activities and I will do my best to make every event accessible to everyone.

Free software is about having control over the technology we use in our homes, schools and businesses, where computers work for our individual and communal benefit, not for proprietary software comp …
