ABOUT
A place of rest and rejuvenation for those caught in the desert of irrationality.
Mission Statement
Freethought Oasis is a social organization dedicated to
empowering members of our community to live fuller lives by
promoting curiosity and reason above faith and religious dogma.
We seek to increase our effectiveness and visibility by actively
fostering communication with those who may also feel the unique
pressures of maintaining a secular worldview while living in the
American Bible-Belt.
Organized Summer 2009
After finding her own oasis from Catholicism, Funnybroad funded and organized the "Panhandle Pastafarians", via Meetup.com as a way to meet with and befriend like-minded individuals in Amarillo, Texas and the surrounding area. While this group was not founded with the intention of becoming "activists" of any kind, it quickly became apparent to us that there were, perhaps, many more Freethinkers in our area who could benefit from the experience of knowing they were not alone. The Panhandle Pastafarians soon expanded to become Freethought Oasis which became incorporated as a non-profit organization in June 2010. We are currently finalizing and will receive our tax exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service by early 2011. Please join us in our mission and become a member today.
