The Center for Inquiry-Los Angeles wants to gather freethinkers and rational people in a purely social setting. We want to introduce people who share a common rational worldview - that is, the idea that the universe operates on principles and ideas which are or will be explained by science and rational means. Paranormal and religious followers have, in many ways, dominated the media and the culture. Consequently, many skeptics and non-religious people experience a feeling of isolation in their communities, and even among friends and family. We seek to erase that feeling by getting some of the thousands of freethinkers and rationalists in the area together.
We sincerely hope you'll join us.
