Welcome!

RRNA is a social and discussion group that serves people who hold naturalistic worldviews. Many secular humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, skeptics, and Buddhists are fully naturalistic in their thinking. Brights also describe themselves as having a naturalistic worldview.

"Naturalism," as our group uses it, comes from the field of philosophy. However, one needn't be interested at all in philosophy to get what the word means, or to say that one is a naturalist. Simply put, naturalism states that nothing supernatural exists. Another possible way of putting it is naturalism states that everything that exists is physical. Many people live with a naturalistic assumption, but would not be familiar with the label.

We invite those who have, or are considering, naturalistic perspectives. And we welcome those who support the holding of naturalistic views, even if they do not hold them.
