Well I can't pretty much guarantee you that they are not any in my state.
But my wife would absolutely love that. She misses choir so much. Because of religious saturation freaking much any singing group is affiliated with a church. We have looked and there are no secular choirs around. Much less atheist.
She joined one that said it wasn't but then they prayed like 4 times during the first rehearsal and she bounced.

Thanks for the recommendation of literature. I love that kind of stuff as I'm a bit of an anthropology/history buff.
In my house we wish each other happy Saturnalia.

As an atheist who goes crazy for Christmas I must agree

I typically have one fiction, one nonfiction, and a bathroom reader. Along with an audiobook too.

Reply to Do you ever feel like there's a wealth of knowledge available to us in this day and age? by Delicious_Maize9656
My family thoroughly enjoys the plethora of knowledge available at their fingertips.
I'm a scientist and my wife is a public elementary reading teacher.
My wife and I value curiosity above most traits. We have read thousands and thousands of books to our kids already. Both of our children are remarkable. I'm not even doing the normal parental exaggerations but they are both likely geniuses.
When I was a kid I couldn't even read. I was much more concerned with things like food and not getting arrest for being poor. It is remarkable the difference some resources can be. It is even more sad when most the kids don't even utilize those resources.
