Welcome to the First Coast Freethought Society.  Now in our twenty-seventh year! 🎉

The First Coast Freethought Society is an organization of individuals who prefer science and reason over religious dogma and fanaticism. We have enjoyed the nonreligious population of Northeast Florida since 1998 as we seek ways to improve the quality of life within our communities.

Our advocacy prefers progressive ideas over regressive ideas with an emphasis on equality, equity, and critical thinking, through education and community outreach.

We provide a place to discuss philosophy, science, books, movies, current events, and a venue for local and national speakers to share their expertise. We offer support to those who question or have rejected religious beliefs.

We also sponsor scholarships through our partnership with the Secular Student Alliance. Our scholarships reward students who champion secular values, church/state separation, and civil rights. Learn more about it and how to apply by visiting our page.

Our public activities are free! Check out our YouTube Channel, monthly meetings, newsletter, book and move discussion groups, and our monthly Secular Sunday in the park. We hope you can join us! Join our Meetup page to receive updates about our events. Sign-up for our Newsletter and email announcements. Stay in touch. If you have an idea for a program, please let us know.
