    Libre Pense
    
   B. Russell and J. Rostand have been "Honor Presidents" of this
   association, which was founded in 1847. It considers that religions
   are a major obstacle to the development of autonomous thinking based
   on Science and Reason, where "reason" is to be taken in the sense of
   the philosophers of 18th century. It defends Peace, Liberties, Human
   Rights, and "Laicit" (i.e. independence of of the education system
   and the state from all religions). Its monthly 32 page bulletin is
   called "La Raison" ("Reason"). The president of the organization is
   Joseph Berny.

    The Net Atheists
    http://home.sol.no/heldal/tna/tna.html
    
   One beatiful day some atheists got together and decided that this
   world, nay, this electronic world we call the Internet needs a good
   atheist organization. However, we want it to be something like none
   before (none that we're aware of, anyway). So, here are some basic
   pointers:
    1. It's Free! Never pay a dime for your disbelief!
    2. There's no governing body! No one to tell you how to be an
       atheist!
    3. There's no leader! Just like the real world, which has no god!
    4. It's fun! Being an atheist is fun! Identifying yourself as an
       atheist is even funner!
    5. It identifies yourself for what you are, an atheist, and proud of
       it, damn it!
       
   So, you ask, what do I do to become a Net Atheist? It's simple. Simply
   copy the GIF of our logo (available at
   http://home.sol.no/heldal/tna/tna.gif), put it on your home page, link
   it here, and you're in! To make it easier, you'll find all the
   information, and a cut-and-paste link to build into your home page.
   Hey, it's free, and it's time we stand up together and say, "Yeah, I'm
   an atheist and I'm sick of your crap!"

   Our goal is to contribute to reduction of the superior force the
   church and christianiti has in Norway, with it's exceptional position
   in Norwegian laws, school and culture. We also want to bring into
   focus the harmful sides of christianity and organized religious
   movements. Our target is not the christians, but the ones that became
   a member of the church as infants and constitutes the foundation of
   the power the church has today.
   
   We don't believe in either gods nor devils. Our activities often
   feature humour and unceremonious spontanity. As a member you will
   regulary get our magazine "Oss Hedninger Imellom" and are free to join
   our meetings, arangements and social activities.
   
   The Heathen Society is more like a fighting organization than a
   organization for a specific view of life. Most of us concider us as
   humanists. You can be a member of The Heathen Society even though you
   are a member of other organizations, like Human-Etisk Forbund or even
   the state church. The Norwegian Heathen Society is politicaly
   indepentent.

     Precedence is given to collaboration on hardcopy resource packets
     of evolution arguments & evidence intended to aid amateur
     pro-evolutionists with good science backgrounds who want to make
     certain specific points when addressing an untutored nonscientific
     target audience composed chiefly of noncreationists. This would
     include pre-selecting lines of argument known to be (A)
     comprehensible, and (B) effective in countering specific flavors of
     antievolution arguments. In furtherance of this, comparative
     analysis of evolution- and evolution/creation-related online,
     hardcopy and video resources are expected, as is input from the
     Skeptics community. We require that in excess of 50% of list
     traffic be devoted to this. The rest should be confined to the
     broader issue of getting persuasive material out of the ivory tower
     and down to street level where Joe Beercan can expect to benefit
     from it.

   Description:
   
     In today's predominantly religious society, it is often difficult
     to find that "special someone" who does not adhere to religious
     belief systems. SINGLES is a forum for the discussion of secular
     singles issues such as: the pros and cons of dating people with
     religious beliefs, personal ads, etc.

  Usenet newsgroups
  
    alt.atheism
    
   The oldest atheism-related newsgroup; it is currently believed to have
   been created in February, 1990.
   
    alt.atheism.moderated
    
   Created as a lower-traffic moderated alternative to alt.atheism. A
   refuge for those who have tired of arguing over whether God does or
   doesn't exist, and who want to talk about something slightly
   different.
   
    soc.atheism
    
   Moderated newsgroup for discussion of atheism in everyday life. How do
   atheists spend religious holidays? What should you do if
   fundamentalist colleagues cause friction at work? These and other
   topics are discussed in a relatively quiet and friendly atmosphere.
   
    talk.atheism
    
   The new mainstream Usenet replacement for alt.atheism. General
   discussion of atheism vs religion.
