Are there any secular humanists meetings that you know about?

I am a non-believer that is looking for like-minded individuals (secular humanists) to interact with in Doha. I have not found any type of group or meetups that provide the opportunity for secularists to network/meet/interact. Among the expats that I have met, many go to their respective churches (and the locals I have met go to their mosque), so I am looking for other non-believers/skeptics/atheists in Doha to establish a community of like-minded people.
If one does not exist, than I would like to start one. Everything here seems to be spread by word of mouth, so not sure how many secularists would see this post and be interested in having meetings to discuss secular topics, but hopefully someone will know of something and be willing to share/respond. Thanks!

I agree with the semantics hydqat. Looking online, groups in the US exist with names such as "Secular Alliance", so I was trying to keep it broad. Atheists that meet don't have much to talk about with regards to atheism (it's like Christian's and Muslims meeting to talk about Thor), what I was trying to get at is I would like to have a community to talk about issues from an atheist perspective, a community with which to organize community service events for just the sake of of doing good (doing good for goods sake, a slogan from another atheist). That is the idea at least.

U want to join/start an atheists club/group. Isn't it? "Secular humanists" is somewhat confusing. For example almost all indians are secular but they believe in religion. I think 'Athiest' is the right word for non believers. Sorry I Don't have any knowledge about such groups in Doha.
