Welcome to Our Website
CFI Communities are groups of rationalists, skeptics, and humanists which sponsor local events, activism, lectures and educational programs. The Communities draw upon volunteers and Center for Inquiry Friends and supporters who are enthusiastic about our agenda and wish to take part in our movement.
The Fort Lauderdale Community offers an opportunity to put your principles into practice by joining other rationalists to work for positive change in society. In addition, the Fort Lauderdale Community sponsors social events for freethinkers as well as intellectual programming, and assists with campus outreach.
CFI Communities provide an ethical alternative to religious and paranormal worldviews. In this time of rising religiosity, anti-intellectualism and political turmoil on ethical issues, it is critical that rationalists and freethinkers join together to protect civil liberties, defend reason, and work toward increasing scientific literacy.

May 16Friday, May 16, 7:00 pm
Talking Points
Location: Roy Fischler's house in Sunrise
Please RSVP to Roy Fischler at for directions.
This is a new recurring event we want to start. During these sessions, people will bring topics (such as statements made by religious fundamentalists or believers in the paranormal, etc.) and the group will investigate the responses. This is a training session for those of us who want to be better equipped to respond when such unfounded statements are made. It will involve getting more familiar with what the bible really says, what the constitution really says, etc. It was proposed that we also do some role-playing to simulate such conversations. So bring a "talking point" and reference materials and sources to help us pool our ideas and responses.
