Maryland Atheist Students Association

The Maryland Atheist Students Association's mission is to inform students at the University of Maryland-College Park of the atheist alternative to the religious ideas that permeate society.


UMD Atheists outside Student Union, Spring 2004

We have a number of events planned this year including debates, protests, speakers, movies, and more.

We have a discussion and announcement list available here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UMDAtheists/. If you would like to only receive announcements, set your account to "Special Notices" only.

DC Area Atheist Bus Initiative: to participate in funding an atheist ad on a bus in DC area sign up for this yahoo group

Attention theists: we are often asked to explain our position, especially during the tabling events outside the Union. Thus we decided to write up several arguments online, they can be found here

T-shirts and other club related items are available here.
