The person who runs it is just the man who represents the organization of free-thinkers that brought all of us together by way of the internet. We have a guest speaker each week. Speakers range from college professors to atheist writers to local scientists and national lecturers who happen to be in town and want to kill a sunday morning. The speaker usually only speaks for 15 or 20 minutes and this is followed by a lengthy group discussion. "Preaching" is not something you would ever get at one of these meetings. Topics range a great deal. There's actually very little "god-bashing" and much of the discussions turn to societal issues and the like. It's quite a collection of intellectual minds and the perspicacity with which many of them speak makes it somewhat of an elite group. It's not for everybody, but I can't get enough.
Sounds more interesting than I imagined. Although I don't presume that every group such as yours have the luxury of location location location to which people, that you would care to hear speak, frequent.
