Who are we? Atheists lack, and sometimes specifically reject, a belief in the
existence of a god or gods.
Humanists believe that ethical philosophy should be based on human
needs and rational thought.
Agnostics believe that the truth about the existence of god or gods is
unknown or unknowable.
If you find the above ideas interesting, you are invited to join AHA! for
fun and lively discussion. We have regular meetings every other Tuesday at 7pm in
Old Union.

Join AHA! for a showing of God on Trial:
Why is there so much suffering in the world and what kind of God would allow it to happen? Universal questions about faith and philosophy are at the heart of God on Trial, which was inspired by the legend that a group of concentration camp prisoners conducted a mock trial against the Almighty God. From all walks of life, a physicist, a glove maker, rabbis, a law professor and at least one criminal weigh the evidence and offer thoughtful arguments taken from history, science, theology and personal experience.

 The Casualty Process is an electronic rock project from the Tehran underground music scene. Originally formed by Natch and his sister Cis, the group currently features Natch on guitar, vocals, and customized midi controller, and Shayan on guitar, bass, and vocals. Natch and Shayan rose to international notoriety with their previous project, The Plastic Wave, for whom performances in Iran were illegal because of their female lead singer. After years of struggling to attain artist travel visas, Natch and Shayan arrived in New York City in April 2011. They are traveling the U.S. to talk about their experiences and share their brooding, hard-edged sounds.
Join us for an awesome night of intimate music, followed by Q&A/discussion with Natch and Shayan about their experiences as censored artists!
Hosted in partnership with the Persian Student Association.
Supported by the Billie Achilles fund and the Bechtel International Center, the Secular Student Alliance, the Graduate Student Council, and the ASSU Undergraduate Senate.

Hey everyone, mark your calendars for AHA!’s first event of the new school year! In honor of International Blasphemy Day, we are hosting Greta Christina for her talk, “Why are you atheists so angry?”. Greta Christina is one of the most widely-read and well-respected bloggers in the atheist blogosphere (link to her blog), and has been writing professionally since 1989, on topics including sexuality and sex-positivity, LGBT issues, politics, culture, and whatever crosses her mind.
Greta will be speaking about how atheist movement is often accused of being driven by anger. What are so many atheists so angry about? Is this anger legitimate? And can anger be an effective force behind a movement for social change?
We are grateful to have her at Stanford again! See you there!
