The Atheist Community of Austin (ACA) is an educational non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas. The central goals of the ACA are to "promote positive atheism and the separation of church and state".[1]
Activities
[edit]The ACA undertake a number of public activities and community service efforts regularly, such as blood drives and cleaning up streets through the Keep Austin Beautiful Adopt-A-Street program[2], and also produce the following shows and publications:
- A weekly public access cable television show called The Atheist Experience, which is aimed at explaining atheism and related topics to a primarily Christian audience.[3]
- A biweekly internet radio show entitled The Non-Prophets, which is uncensored and features more humour than the TV show.[4]
- A popular-interest lecture series, usually held at the Austin History Centre, covering a number of atheist interests.[5][6]
- The ACA publish The Austin Atheist, which is actually available online via the community website.[7]
- The Atheist Eve cartoons, drawn by Tracie Harris, are a series of illustrations which often employ components of dramatic irony occurring in an ordinary situation.[8]
- Assist the Capitol Area Food Bank in canned-food drives and serve as a collection point. [9]
