Welcome to Rhode Island Atheist Society. We are a growing group of energetic atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers who believe that religion has too much power in today’s society. We believe in the separation of church and state and feel that not enough is being done to ensure that wall between them stays strong. The Catholic Church, among others, has a tremendous amount of power over the laws in Rhode Island. The non-believers of this state have no such advocate. We would like to change that.
You may be fed up with religion's control of politics, war, and their efforts against scientific advancement. You may be tired of bigotry, intolerance, and interference with our fundamental human rights. You may simply be tired of imaginary beings getting more respect than human beings. If any of these are true, then you have come to the right place.
Want to actually do something helpful on National Prayer Day? Do you feel the need to do something, anything, that will really help people while the rest of the country does nothing?
How about donating blood?
Around the country skeptical and atheist groups are encouraging people to give blood on this May 1st, and Rhode Island Atheist Society is no exception. RIAS has been in contact with the Rhode Island Blood Center this month in the hopes that we can help people by donating blood and make a real difference on that day. We have been granted a Group Number which can be used to track the total amounts of blood donated. (No personal information is tracked, just total amounts)
If anyone would like to go as a group and donate, please feel free to contact me. If we gather a large group, the blood center asks for a little heads-up so that they have enough staff on hand. If you would like to donate on your own, either on May 1st or any other day, the RIAS group number, should you wish to use it is RIAS Group Number: 2304
