SacramentoCoR is an organization comprised of the agnostic, atheist, freethinker, humanist, and skeptic organizations in the Sacramento area. It is not an independent organization, rather a single source meant to promote such related groups to the general public. SacramentoCoR is doing this through it&#8217;s website, <a href="http://sacramento.unitedcor.org">sacramento.unitedcor.org</a>, and through its billboard campaign.</p>
<p>SacramentoCoR is a local chapter of the national organization, United Coalition of Reason, <a href="unitedcor.org">unitedcor.org</a>. Its website states that:</p>
<blockquote><p>The primary focus of United CoR is local. As such, it doesn’t compete with other national organizations, and its local work is geared toward fostering the success of existing groups, not changing their nature or adding new groups or an additional organizational level to the mix. A central goal is to help unaffiliated nontheists learn about local activities and, ideally, get involved.</p>

<p>The Sacramento Area Skeptics support the Coalition of Reason&#8217;s effort to promote critical thinking and reason in Sacramento, which is why we have joined other organizations in the area to make up SacramentoCoR; however, the SAS is not an atheistic organization like much of Sacramento&#8217;s CoR member organizations are.</p>
