Agnostic and questioning communities in North Alabama
Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God or the divine cannot be known, or has not been shown. The English biologist Thomas Huxley coined the word agnostic in 1869. Agnostics do not form a church, but many look for conversation, community and room to keep asking questions, and NAWD lists groups that welcome them in North Alabama.
Outlook
Agnostics may lean toward belief or toward doubt, or hold both with humility. Some are agnostic about God but still draw on traditions of meaning, ritual and ethics. Many people who describe themselves as agnostic value evidence, honest uncertainty and respect for those who see things differently.
Gatherings and community
Agnostics find company in freethought societies, skeptic and philosophy groups, discussion circles and interfaith or open congregations that welcome questions. Some people attend a faith community for its fellowship while keeping their questions open.
Visiting
Everyone is welcome at open discussion groups. Contact the organizers for meeting information.
