Atheist Student Alliance at USF
The Atheist Student Alliance (ASA) is a student organization at the University of South Florida with the purpose of promoting fellowship and understanding among our members and within the USF community as a whole. Because many atheists encounter prejudice, misunderstandings and stereotypes, we feel it is vital to be known instead for who we really are. Integrity demands that we be honest both with ourselves and with others. We wish to remain above the influence of groups that spend millions to promote dubious religious claims.

Atheists of Florida (Tampa Bay Region)
Atheists of Florida is a nonprofit, educational corporation created to heighten public awareness about atheism and to monitor state/church separation issues. We disagree with supernatural doctrines while valuing personal liberty as a precious heritage for everyone. As tireless advocates for freedom, honesty and integrity, we promote positive aspirations. Our object is not to condemn, but to inform – not to convert, but to educate. Atheists of Florida serves the needs of a significant and growing nonreligious community of reason.

Portia Westerfield
President
Humanist Society of the Suncoast
We stand at the cusp of a new way of thinking and understanding our world; one which is not bound to the traditions of prosaic beliefs and archaic institutions. To find ourselves in the natural universe, and more intimately, in the lives of others of our kind, is to recognize the true source of our individual humanity. From it flows our ability and responsibility to lead meaningful lives, capable of adding to the greater good and intrinsic beauty of the humanity we share with all. We examine issues of ethics, science, philosophy, politics, history, art, and other aspects of human knowledge and life.

Jim Peterson
President
Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers
Nontheistic service members serve honorably throughout the world–always have; always will. However, nontheists are the last unprotected minority. The nontheistic, whether an atheist, humanist, agnostic, freethinker, or other secular minority, have a strong community. Jason Torpy, a West Point graduate, serves as president of MAAF. He also holds seats on the boards of the Secular Coalition for America and the American Humanist Association.

SOS Tampa Bay
SOS (Secular Organizations for Sobriety, or Save Our Selves) is a self-empowerment approach to sobriety. We believe it is each individual's personal choice to use or not to use. We choose not to use, and not to drink, no matter what situations or circumstances arise. We hold all things to be separate from our sobriety. It is not dependent upon any outside influences, or a higher power, but simply put, a decision, to change our thoughts, change our habits and change our lives.
