What to do tonight: Join the Skeptics!
You gotta believe in a group called Steel City Skeptics.
"They are one of two or three informal secular groups that blog and hold various meet-ups, discussion groups, and social events," said Stephen Hirtle, a professor of information sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. "They try to bring nonreligious, atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers together."
The Skeptics will be joined by nationally known demographer Barry Kosmin and others tonight at 6:30 at Clapp Hall on Bigelow Boulevard in Oakland for a symposium on Secularism on Campus. The event was organized by the Center for Inquiry, based in Buffalo, N.Y., and is open to the public.
"They picked Pittsburgh because there's a very active group at Carnegie Mellon University, and a very active group at the University of Pittsburgh," he said. "Some students at Duquesne tried to form a group, but it was declined because it was not in line with their mission."
