What we’re about
The ATHEIST COMMUNITY OF ROCHESTER is an OASIS, safe from a world of magical thinking. Members can relax surrounded by fellow free-thinkers, agnostics, humanists and other like-minded people. Everyone is welcome.
We have a monthly meeting every third Thursday at the Old Toad, 277 Alexander St., between 6 and 9 PM.
We have a book club and we have educational meetups. We have a "secular explorers club" for hikes and field trips etc.
Help ACOR grow! Support our outreach and education efforts, as we schedule interesting speakers and raise our profile in Rochester and the surrounding area.
Our Mission & Vision
The Mission of the Atheist Community of Rochester is to promote a positive perception of Atheism and to bring the local secular community together.
We envision the Atheist Community of Rochester becoming the preeminent secular organization in the region, providing a safe haven and a much-needed public voice for the rapidly growing non-theist demographic.
