United Coalition of Reason

The United Coalition of Reason is a non-profit national organization that helps local nontheistic groups work together to achieve higher visibility, gain more members, and have a greater impact in their local areas. We achieve this goal by assisting local groups in the "community of reason" to cooperate with each other. ("Community of reason" is a generic term that includes all self-identified nontheistic organization, whether they call themselves atheist, agnostic, bright, Ethical Culture, freethought, humanist, Pastafarian, rationalist, realist, skeptic, secularist, or whatever else. Group leaders in a given city or region are brought together for the purpose of establishing an informal coalition. This local coalition is then used to foster joint activities among the groups and raise the collective public profile of the local community of reason itself. Such coalitions across the country are then placed in communication with each other so they may share ideas and resources.

At UnitedCoR we aspire to a world where secular ideals are treated with respect and dignity. We are committed to promoting science and reason, nurturing unity and developing cooperation within local communities. We donate time, resources and cutting edge technology to help a variety of local nontheistic groups grow their presence, expand their outreach and present a positive face for nontheism by doing good together. Each group in our community of reason celebrates rational thought and science. We call ourselves atheist, agnostic, bright, Ethical Culture, freethought, humanist, rationalist, realist, skeptic, secular, and other terms. We are happy, positive people who are also glad to engage with religious people and find common ground such as charitable work in local communities.
