Welcome Atheists and Freethinkers!

The Louisville Atheists and Freethinkers is a loosely organized band of atheists, agnostics, humanists, and freethinkers of many different backgrounds and labels. We started out in 2003 as the Louisville Atheists Meetup and have since grown into the 100's and blossomed out into new focus areas and groups.

Feel free to check out our groups on Meetup.com.

This is a friendly debate, more like a discussion, between our member Frank Lovell and Atheist Party president Troy Boyle on whether or not there should be a political party with "atheist" in its name.

Rabbi Robert Barr: The Creation Museum's Real Agenda

The guest speaker for the February meetup was Robert Barr. He is the Rabbi for Congregation Beth Adam in Cincinnati. He recently spoke at the Free Inquiry Group's 20th Anniversary Celebration on what is really going on at the Creation "Museum", earning many enthusiastic reviews.

In his presentation, he gave a pictorial tour of the Creation Museum, making comments along the way and highlighted the points that the "museum" is trying to make. He prefered to call it ia church rather than a museum, as his tour quickly revealed that this "museum" is not about science, not really even about creationism, but about trying to convert visitors to a specific version of fundamentalist Christianity.

At the speaker's request, we have not posted the video of his presentation online. If you would like to see the video, please contact me though our Contact Form.
