The Atheist Community of Austin (ACA) is an educational non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas. The central goals of the ACA are to "promote positive atheism and the separation of church and state".

Activities
The ACA undertake a number of public activities and community service efforts regularly, such as blood drives and cleaning up streets through the Keep Austin Beautiful Adopt-A-Street program, and also produce the following shows and publications:


 * A weekly public access cable television show called The Atheist Experience, which is aimed at explaining atheism and related topics to a primarily Christian audience.
 * A biweekly internet radio show entitled The Non-Prophets, which is uncensored and features more humour than the TV show.
 * A popular-interest lecture series, usually held at the Austin History Centre, covering a number of atheist interests.
 * The ACA publish The Austin Atheist, which is actually available online via the community website.
 * The Atheist Eve cartoons, drawn by Tracie Harris, are a series of illustrations which often employ components of dramatic irony occurring in an ordinary situation.
 * Assist the Capitol Area Food Bank in canned-food drives and serve as a collection point.

Matt Dillahunty is the current president of the Atheist Community of Austin as well as being the host of The Atheist Experience. Matt and Non-Prophets Radio producer Russell Glasser have formed a counter-apologetics wiki entitled Iron Chariots.
