Hundreds of atheist groups across the country want the friendship, communication, education, and action that American Atheists is able to provide. Affiliation can help us grow together.

If is vital that we stand up to religious oppression and the constant attacks on the Establishment Clause. This is where affiliation with American Atheists comes into play. It is important for groups to keep in contact, work together, and aspire toward the common goals of Atheist civil rights, true Freedom of Religion (meaning Freedom from Religion), and maintaining the Establishment Clause. We all have personal differences and opinions regarding social matters, activism methods, and other details, but we all share these three common goals. Together, united in our common goals, we can achieve them.

Affiliation with American Atheists means that the affiliate agrees with the stated goals of American Atheists. Affiliates are under no obligation to agree with everything American Atheists does because we know there will be differences of opinion. Affiliates are under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to forward information on events, activism, or Action Alerts. Affiliation provides every affiliate with benefits (see above).

Affiliation provides affiliates the chance to work with and help American Atheists and vice versa. Affiliates, along with respective American Atheist's State Directors, are the eyes and ears of American Atheists at the state level: keeping track of illegal legislation, violations of Atheist civil rights, and helping us fight against religious oppression. Affiliates may also assist with the American Atheists' Annual Conventions held each year over Easter weekend, when the Convention is held in their respective states.

Is your group interested in affiliating? If you are interested in starting a group or have other comments, questions, or concerns, then please contact the National Affiliate Outreach Director, Blair Scott or visit the Affiliate Outreach Web Page.

Ready to begin the process? If your group would like to affiliate, then please print out the Affiliation Application (Mirror Site). The Affiliation Application is Excel friendly (and compatable software) and can be saved to your computer and opened in Excel to be completed.
