About Butterflies-R-Us

Welcome to this group of atheists, agnostics, skeptics, rationalists, secularists, humanists, transhumanists, futurists, scientists, Brights (constituents), brights (supernatural-free folks), and freethinkers.

We are a diverse group, but what we have in common is that our feet are planted on the terra firma in the real world - and not the world of make believe.

My husband once wrote an essay that started out: "We need celebrity atheist "role models." In this country they are few and far between. We are overrun with people of accomplishment declaring their religious commitment. But where are the freethinkers?"

Why did I call this group "Butterflies-R-Us"?

Because Butterfly McQueen, who was an atheist, is a fitting inspiration:

ffrf.org/awards/heroine/1989_mcqueen.php

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_McQueen

... and because, it is said, "butterflies are free" ... and so it is that many of the secularly inclined among us hope to see, in the words of Robert G. Ingersoll, "... the whole world free - free from injustice - free from superstition."

Yours in freethought,
Olga
