Welcome to ocatheists.com!

Welcome to OCAtheists.com, the online home of Orange County Atheists, a group for like-minded people in and around Orange County, CA. We welcome all comments and questions about the site, about us, and about religion and atheism in general.

OC Atheists exists primarily as a social gathering group, meeting once a month over dinner and drinks to discuss religion, politics, and the news of the day. Our meetings are typically on a weeknight around 7:30pm at a restaurant in Orange County. We'd love to have you at our next meeting!
