May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.
-- Thomas Jefferson

The La Crosse Area Freethought Society (LCAFS) is a local forum in
which nontheists can meet, socialize, and exchange ideas.
Our mission is to promote positive freethought, the separation of church and state,
and the application of reason and science to human understanding.
What is a Freethinker?
Function: noun
Date: 1692
: one who forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority ; especially one who doubts or denies religious dogma
The LCAFS is a group of freethinkers. A freethinker may define themselves as an atheist, agnostic, skeptic, secular humanist, etc. Most of these labels are interchangeable, and are not mutually exclusive. Freethinkers can have different opinions on politics, education, environment, ... basically everything. The one thing that we all tend to have in common is that we lack a belief in a god.
As a group, we try to meet at least once a month. At our past meetings, we have done everything from discuss how we came to our current worldview (most of us are former Christians), to watching videos (we have watched several documentaries), to discussing local issues (such as science education or church/state entanglement issues). Our gatherings are very informal and serve as a great opportunity to meet with other like-minded individuals and have good conversation.
