This group was created as a place for Atheists, Agnostics, Freethinkers, Skeptics, and Humanists in the Charleston area to meet and socialize in a friendly, supportive environment. The purpose of this group is to help non-religious people create and develop a part of their social lives that is free of religious pressure, and to provide an outlet to discuss the non-religious aspects of our lives.

We work to uphold the equal enjoyment of human rights and civil liberties in an open, secular society and find that humanity has the ability to progress toward its highest ideals. The responsibility for our lives and the kind of world in which we live is ours and ours alone. SHOR is a chapter of WASH

We are a community of science lovers who wish to endorse reason and free-thinking in the public square. We provide a forum for discussion, events for outreach, and a fun and convivial atmosphere for enjoying the company of like-minded skeptics. Our mission is to promote critical thinking, science and free inquiry as the best methods for evaluating all claims to truth.
