"No gods, no devils, no heaven, no hell,
just the wonderful universe around us."
Boulder Atheists wish to promote the understanding and acceptance of atheism with public education, good deeds and public activities. Although we welcome members who wish to discuss the subject, our main goal is activism.
Boulder Atheists is a non profit organization that strives to bring you interesting and thought provoking programs while serving the community. Whether you join us at the library for our monthly meetings, at our weekly lunches, at our booth at the Boulder Creekfest, or to help us clean up our section of Baseline road, we hope that we bring value to you. Please take the time to donate to us so we can continue these important programs.
We are sponsoring the "Don't Believe" bus advertising project. The project is run through COCORE, of which we are a member. The project will put the message "Don't Believe in God? You are not alone." on major bus routes in Denver, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs. If you wish to donate using Paypal, use this donation button.
You'll want to subscribe to our e-mail list of events, newsletters, and topics of interest.
On September 28, 2008, we will have an open discussion about the role of activism and atheism. There are many opinions out there and the protest at the recent convention brought many of them to the surface. We will talk about what Boulder Atheists, as an organization, will do to further public awareness of the secular community in general and specifically atheism. We will talk about protests, letter writing, and other forms of activism. Join us for what promises to be an informative and lively discussion.
On October 26, 2008, R.G. Price will be giving a presentation for us titled "Understanding the 'Old Testament' - Putting the Hebrew Scriptures in Context".
Thanks to modern archeology and textual criticism we now know more about the development of the Hebrew scriptures than ever before. Join us for a discussion of the culture and influences that shaped the stories and concepts of the "Old Testament". This discussion will encourage appreciation and respect for these literary works through the understanding of them as products of the experiences and desires of their human authors, not divine revelation.
R.G. Price runs the website rationalrevolution.net and has previously given several presentations for the Boulder and Denver Freethought communities.
The meetings are held on the fourth Sunday of the month in the Boulder Creek room of the Boulder Public Library from 12:15pm to 1:45pm. The library is officially at 1000 Canyon Blvd, but the entrance on Arapahoe (near 11th street) has more parking and is closer to the Boulder Creek room.

A loyal subset of the Boulder Atheists meets and socializes for lunch every Thursday at 12:30 PM. We meet at Sol Azteca. It's on the SE corner of Iris and 28th - across from Safeway.
My Fellow COCORE members,
Fourteen folks showed up to picket and pass out leaflets. Four from the Boulder Atheists, one college students, three from the Freethinkers of Colorado Springs, one from Coalition of Secular Voters, three from Denver Atheists and Freethinkers, and two from Humanists of Colorado.
Between 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. we handed out 900 leaflets and carried ten picket signs. Lots of encouragment from the folks who talked with us. Almost no attention from the media. A few people took pictures but only one audio-only interview. Overall seemed like a great success. Thanks to all who helped.
Cordially, Marvin
Thanks to everyone who helped with our booth at the Boulder Creekfest during the Memorial Day weekend.
On April 20, 2008, about 15 members gathered on a beautiful Sunday afternoon to clean up our adopted section of road on Baseline. We got a few to stay to pose for a photo.
We have an exciting free discussion board where you can exchange ideas, find out about upcoming events and meet and talk with others in the atheist, freethinker, and humanist community. Click here to register and see! Boulder Atheists and CreativeConsulting.com are offering Colorado (and the world) this forum as a way for the secular community to band together to communicate and organize. The evangelicals saw the need to organize and built a powerful community that has changed the face of American politics, now it's our turn. Register and join in today!
