Many Americans describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, or “nothing in particular.” Does having “no religion” mean it is not present in one’s life. Does claiming atheism or agnosticism suggest that one has thought critically about the subject and decided not to be religious?
Stereotypes, misconceptions, and discrimination against non-religious people, especially atheists, remain strong. Do atheists experience awe? Do atheists have no morals? What do non-religious people think about faith, belief, and the source of goodness? Should non-religious people stifle their ideas to avoid offending or being stigmatized by the religious?

The Jefferson Center invites you to join a discussion of these questions. This event is part of the Salon series of The Jefferson Center, a Rogue Valley non-profit focused on critical thinking using secular humanist values to understand and engage with issues important to our community. See https:thejeffcenter.org for more details on this and other events.
