There are many types of local groups for people who don’t believe in a god or gods. These include those that identify as atheist, agnostic, bright, freethought, humanist, naturalist, skeptic, or use some other label. Such groups can, by their activities, be described as charitable, educational, philosophical, political, social, student, support, or more than one of these. Some are specialized, serving children, parents, people in the military, professionals, singles, students, and others. There are also congregational communities such as atheist, freethought, and humanist churches; Ethical Culture societies; Humanistic Jewish temples; and atheist-welcoming Unitarian Universalist churches.
Many of these groups are affiliated with larger regional or national groups, some are members of regional or local coalitions, and some can be found on MeetUp:
