About Us


FACT is a nonprofit educational association of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, rationalists, secular humanists, and skeptics.  Members are critical thinking individuals who prefer to determine truth by replacing authority, superstition and tradition with reason, logic and evidence.

History

In early 1990, two discussion groups were started by Beni T. Dean and Catherine Fahringer.  The groups had mixed success but together were able to adopt a first set of Rules & Bylaws on September 17, 1990.  This was the official beginning of the Secular Humanist Association of San Antonio.  Then, in January of 1999, the membership elected to change the name to  the Freethinkers Association of Central Texas.  Today FACT is composed of a dedicated group of freethinkers working hard to achieve objectives of great importance.

Objectives

The objectives of the Freethinkers Association of Central Texas are ambitious.  To accomplish them will take intelligence, vigilance, perseverance and courage.

  • Prevent the encroachment of religion into government by promoting the separation of church and state.
          

  • Support reasoned and scientific solutions to the problems of mankind.
          

  • Provide fellowship and the opportunity for members to learn, discuss, and share information.
          

  • Expose and fight against all discriminations and limitations imposed upon our civil rights.
          

  • Help members and the public become more aware of the benefits of freethinking through the distribution of incisive educational materials and focused guest-speaker presentations.

  “Freethought has never said pull down your churches, burn up your creeds, crucify your savior or reject your god.  No one ever knew a Freethinker to try to make laws to control people.  All their efforts have been the other way, trying to tear down laws already made which control by “Thou shalt” and “thou shalt not.”
