Host No Ghosts—Persons Against the Harmful Delusions of Governments and Gods
This is a group open only to those who consider government (The State) an immoral and unnecessary evil and all gods and immaterial spirits as parasitic ghosts of the projective mind.
To join you must declare you have no beliefs in and do not morally sanction, any governments or gods.
To be a member, it takes just two freed and free thinking concepts to be practiced in your daily life:
Recognize and act on the factual truth that all governments/states from "democratic" (see Catalonia/Spain) to "dictatorships" (see North Korea) are unnecessary evils and the single largest source of human suffering since the 20th century (see R.J. Rummel's work on "democide"). Therefore, cease all moral sanction of governments and abandon them to the dustbin of history. Then work to create viable social alternatives to them based on Responsible Freedom.
All gods, disembodied spirits and all related paraphernalia such as reincarnation, alternative universes with sentient beings, etc., are projected ghosts from the all-too-human mind framed by the evolutionary Family dictated to by the Selfish Genes/Memes. Only the scientific method and materialist naturalism should be the ultimate arbiter of reality.
I hope you will be one of the very select few that this appeals to and join our Free Thinkers and Free Friends Community of Reasoned Care.
I have made a short video to introduce you to the group here:

I look at Autarchy-Atheism as a Humanist Spiritual discipline.
I invite all comments.

Note: On The Distinction Between Autarchy & Anarchy--Robert Lefevre
Etymology:
Autarchy = Auto "Self" + Archy "Ruler", thus Self Ruler
Anarchy = A "No + Archy "Ruler", thus No Ruler
Since every person must be ruled, governed, ordered, directed by someone, if it is not the "Self", the individual doing it, then someone else (government, gods, etc) will be doing it.
Thus Autarchy is the most accurate word for what I call Responsible Freedom, which can be summed as a combination of Acton and Nietzsche: The will to be responsible for yourself and prevent others from controlling you.
For me Autarchy has the added positive feature of distinguishing it from that ambivalently used moniker "anarchy" that is associated with bomb throwing and social chaos as well as the Oxymoronic definition of it by collectivists like Chomsky.
Here is LeFevre's essay:
