Hart County Atheists (HCA) was founded in late 2023 out of a personal need for connection and authenticity that became evident during the holidays.

Navigating life in a religiously saturated environment, like Hart County, as a non-believer is isolating. Finding community can not only be difficult but also feel risky, especially if you're a closeted atheist.

HCA exists to provide a safe and welcoming space for atheists, agnostics, and secular individuals in Hart, Franklin, and Elberton counties of Northeast Georgia.

Our mission and focus is on mutual support and to foster meaningful community, promote open dialogue as a group, and support one another in living freely and honestly without religious expectation or pressure.
