SMART Recovery® (Self Management And Recovery Training) helps individuals gain independence from addictive substances and activities.
Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.
Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.
Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑Meeting format:
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑Details:
This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.
Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.
We welcome your unique point of view and add to the discussion.

For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.
Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

Picnic in the Park
Join us for a family-friendly community meetup in beautiful Griffith Park! Bring a meal, snack, or whatever else you like and socialize with other atheists. We’ll simply socialize in a pressure-free, casual environment and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.
Meet us by the picnic benches just to the west of Shane’s Inspiration playground (map) and look out for Atheists United signage!
San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.
Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑Meeting format:
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑Details:
This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.
Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.
We welcome your unique point of view and add to the discussion.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves. SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.
Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to.

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.
Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑Meeting format:
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑Details:
This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.

Welcome to our community! Our discussions are based on scientific knowledge and evolve as scientific knowledge evolves.

For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.
Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP IN ADVANCE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.
Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑Meeting format:
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑Details:
This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.
Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.

It is campaigning for the introduction of the subject of critical thinking in primary and secondary schools. In his presentation he will discuss what they are doing at the moment, the progress that they have made and what you could do to support this initiative. For more information, visit:

We need your help!
Atheists United is trying to preserve its history and needs help digitizing over 40,000 documents, dozens of tapes, and boxes of floppy disks.

SMART is helpful for some participants primarily because they become involved with a new community of helpful and friendly people. For others, SMART is helpful primarily because they learn new ways of thinking about themselves and their behavior.
Although we have science-based ideas for you to consider, no one will tell you what to do. Our slogan is “Discover the Power of Choice.” For many SMART is a combination of new community and new ways of thinking. You can be involved with SMART in whatever way you want to. We look forward to your participation.
Volunteer @ Our Food Distribution
On the third Friday of each month, Atheist United organizes a food distribution in partnership with the LA Food Bank and Sunday Assembly outside our offices.
We need 15-25 volunteers to help us assemble, sort, organize, and pack over 3,000 lbs of donated food for those in need. We begin setting up right at 12pm (noon) and work straight till our last food package is handed out, usually around 5pm.
As atheists, we rise by lifting others. Help us put our values into action. Join us!

San Fernando Valley Meetup (Online)
YOU MUST REGISTER ON MEETUP, IN ADVANCE, TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ZOOM MEETING.
Our Meetup is hosted every 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday evening of the month (3rd Thursday in person and 1st Monday on Zoom). All are welcome!
🛑What to expect:
Discussion sparked by short videos about atheism, religion, science, current events, critical thinking, comedy, life hacks, health, and beyond >>> followed by moderated discussions.
🛑Meeting format:
This is a place for atheists to meet, have dinner with each other (eating on camera is ok), and network with fellow atheists, skeptics, and humanists.
A few agnostics and religious people sometimes show up and participate and they are welcome as long as they leave the dogma and proselytizing at home.
We mandate courtesy and respect to fellow attendees. First and foremost, this is a social gathering and support group for like-minded persons, not a debate club. If you're coming just to argue on matters of religion or politics, don't bother showing up, you're not going to convert anyone, and you will be asked to leave.
🛑Details:
This is a 2-hour event, but often we go overtime when the discussion and the great atmosphere it requires; or when we can't get enough of seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones. Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like.
Look out for topics posted in the discussion section and please place your own ideas, questions, or concerns in the comments and please feel free to private message any of our co-organizers by clicking on their names.
We welcome your unique point of view and add to the discussion.

Karaoke Party at Heretic House
For your entertainment, our members have transformed the iconic Heretic House into a modern and full-featured karaoke salon complete with speakers, mixers, large displays, and even Atheist United’s very own song submission mobile app.
Come join our thriving community of atheists, humanists, and secularists as we celebrate our love for music!
At Atheists United, our mission is to build thriving atheist communities and empower individuals to express their secular values. As the oldest and most vibrant community of non-believers in the greater Los Angeles area, we have always celebrated music as a universal language of love and harmony that binds people together.
You’ve likely heard about our choir, Voices of Reason, or our widely successful singalong parties. Now we are proud to add Karaoke Parties to our growing portfolio of community-centric musical programs.
Join us and sing your favorite songs, express yourself, blow off some steam, meet like-minded people, and make new friends.
You are more than welcome to access our app and browse our song catalog prior to the event via the following link: https://www.appsheet.com/newshortcut/39e683a7-4ef0-4773-a3cf-2c264c93b920
