How can I go about finding other Atheists in the area?

SPO_House-ad_Ask-an-atheist_0425133We’ve got two main organizations locally, the Inland Northwest Freethought Society (affiliated now with the national Freedom from Religion Foundation) and the Spokane Secular Society

There are nearby groups in northern Idaho and Montana, and we get together annually to share our local experiences. Atheists at EWU have their own group too, though that naturally cycles more as students graduate and move on to other areas.  All of the groups have open meetings (google Spokane atheists and the websites will pop up for info on INFS and S3) and visitors (even theistic ones) are always welcome.

He's always been a history and science buff (getting a bachelor's in the former area at what was then Eastern Washington University in the early 1970s).
