Welcome atheists, agnostics, skeptics, freethinkers, questioning, and believers — whatever you like to call yourselves, you are welcome here! At the Seattle Atheist Church, we call ourselves an atheist church because you will never hear anything supernatural promoted from the podium. We believe in good, because good works in non-mysterious ways.
Join us for our Sunday Service every week, broadcast from Seattle — accessible anywhere in the world.

Sunday Morning Stoicism
10–11:30am PT on Sunday, March 9th, 2025
Let's get together before church and discuss this week's passages from The Daily Stoic! Each day of the year has a corresponding "devotional reading" (so to speak). Each week we discuss the readings since our previous meeting, from the previous Monday through the Sunday of the meeting, and share what resonated with us, what we found profound, and what insights we can apply to what's going on in our lives.
Each reading is about 3 minutes long. They're all self-contained, so you don't need to worry about catching up - feel free to jump in on any week's session!
This is an online event hosted on Zoom. You can register for it here:
https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIqf-2spzwoHNYJkpUJHobrD14SqEGfky0YThis is one of those events where more people show up than RSVP on Meetup, so don't be discouraged from attending just because of a low RSVP count.

Online Service: The Value of Non-Traditional Presentations of Information
12–1:30pm PT on Sunday, March 9th, 2025We don't all learn in the same way, and it's important to acknowledge how useful it can be to utilize alternative ways of presenting information. Some people learn best from lecture formats, some people learn best from the "edutainment" (educational entertainment)format, and some people learn best from narrative presentations.
We will discuss kinds of information presentation that have become available thanks to modern technology, varied framings of knowledge using more traditional tech, and the fact that there is no wrong way to learn! At the end we'll give some specific examples of videos and literature that we enthusiastically recommend!
This week's speaker will be Ashe Phoenix and Mackayla Rachels.
After the talk, we'll have a group discussion to explore the ideas presented, and to share related thoughts, resources, and personal experiences.

Online Planning Meeting
12–1:30pm PT on Sunday, March 16th, 2025Let's plan what we'll be doing for the next quarter! Is there a topic you'd like to give a talk about? Come have a voice in what we do next quarter! Even if you don’t want to volunteer to give a talk, your voice is valuable so that we know which talks to schedule!
You can submit your suggestions using this form:
https://forms.gle/Fx2gCjmvfxyETLWn8As you're thinking about what talk topics to suggest for our upcoming Planning Meeting, we encourage you to consider our Wheel of the Year.
These are our themes for the coming quarter:
- April/May’s virtue is Courage, with Character Strengths of Bravery, Persistence, Integrity, and Vitality
- June’s virtue is Justice with Character Strengths of Citizenship, Fairness, and Leadership
These are for inspiration purposes only. Talk suggestions do not need to conform to any particular theme. Due to the nature of how we vote and schedule the talks, there's no guarantee that a talk that does match a theme will end up being scheduled during that theme's month.
Please be thoughtful about the title and description you propose for the talk, as it will become the title and description in Meetup.
