About Us


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

History

In early 1990, two discussion groups were started by Catherine Fahringer and Beni T. Dean.  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 (FACT).  Today the association is  composed of a dedicated group of freethinkers working hard to achieve objectives of great importance.

Mission

The Mission of the Freethinkers Association of Central Texas is to increase public awareness of the benefits of freethought and support causes that employ reasoned and scientific solutions to serious problems.

Objectives

Our Objectives are ambitious yet achievable.

Challenge the encroachment of religion into federal, state and local governments and eliminate all discriminations and limitations placed upon our civil liberties.

Expose the religious dogma responsible for the population explosion, confront all religious activities that cause population growth, and actively promote practical solutions for population control.

Provide fellowship and the opportunity to learn, discuss, and share freethought information through the distribution of incisive educational materials and focused guest-speaker presentations.

Sponsor community projects that provide assistance and support to those in need.

The accomplishment of these objectives will require
intelligence, perseverance and courage.

  “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.”
