In a state where lawmakers pray to Jesus before doing business, Reba Boyd Wooden finds herself leading a group that she says frequently feels marginalized -- the nonbelievers.

Wooden's Center for Inquiry Community of Indiana includes atheists, agnostics and secular humanists, the term for nonbelievers with which Wooden most closely identifies.

Their profound skepticism about God may be how most people define them. But Wooden said the secular humanists and others who are members of the center shouldn't be viewed so narrowly. They treasure science and reason, value common decency toward others and believe people must solve their own problems. Story
