The thought of kind of community has come to mind. You have put more thought into it than have. I would like to be part of that community.

Not really, no. Because some of the people I respect most and have influenced me greatly in life are not necessarily non-believers. And some of the most thought provoking conversations I've had were with people who are nothing like me. Pursuit of knowledge is a noble goal, I don't see the benefit of voluntarily segregating yourself at its expense.

What are eminently qualified freethinkers? Sounds very elitist. And you are stuck with a very bourgeois notion of education. Your fantasy seems to be very controlled. I like the idea of a freethinkers' community, but your's has a few elements of an Anglo-vegan gulag.

I stopped reading at Elon Musk ... Why would you want to invite him?

I would happily give such a place a number of years before passing judgment. Yes, let’s find a place and do it. Possibly it could begin as a camping society until people could put down tiny houses?

One of my "if I won the lottery" dreams was to build a permanent facility for atheists. I used to belong to an atheist "church" called HCOF (Houston Church of Freethought" They only meet once a month at a motel meeting room, and had no facility of their own. So, providing a permanent facility was on my mind at one time. I'm sure in some academic circles, something close to this exists. Well, a community of Freethinkers that is.

My secular community fantasy only consisted of a community resource center, for gatherings, events, support for living a secular life in a religious community, etc., It didn't extend to living quarters or anything like what you're describing.

I'm not sure I'd want to live in the community you describe, but it might make a fun vacation destination, to socialize with like-minded folks, hear secular speakers, see agnostic entertainers. etc.

Constantly!!! But not just one community! I fantasize about pulling a full "Buckminster Fuller" by creating an international humanistic "nonreligion" (organization) with "churches" (humanist community centers) that offer an alternative to every religious churchgoer who really just wants community!!! There would be potlucks and preschools! Outreach programs for homebound members. Every kind of community service imaginable, all in the name of HUMANITY!!! We would buy hospitals and create colleges....do everything the religious organizations do now....to entice people to the "light", but not by bashing religion; but by purely offering the logical alternative. When I fantasize, I GO BIG!!!!!

I lived those fantasies with other commune-members in the early 70s. We were all dreamers, nudists, and free-thinkers who had rejected the stifling restrictions of society. At least that's how we dreamed it would be. But the dream was lovelier than the reality since the human drama doesn't exist in my imagination. I loved it for about a year. But I'm a hybrid introvert so maybe that's why it didn't work for me in the long run. LLOL

I like it, especially no guns.

Its called Norway , Belgium, Sweden and the other Norwegion countries

Are you going to allow mystics and believers in the paranormal into your commune? Aldous Huxley was both, and he was an active member of a Hindu religious group in California, yet you are naming a street after him. I know that he coined the word “agnostic”, and described himself as one such, so maybe he qualifies as a nonbeliever, even after writing a religious book like “The Perennial Philosophy”.

Maybe I’ll apply for membership.

Had me till the gun ownership thing

Sounds great to me! I'm a big fan of intentional communities.

OR, just move to Thailand. Or Japan. Or Canada. Or Australia.

The US seems to be unique in being aggressively "Christian."
