What we’re about
Welcome to the CFI Halifax Meetup group. The Centre for Inquiry Canada is an educational charity which advances reason, science, secularism and freedom of inquiry.
We do this through various programming such as lecture series, film screenings, book clubs, discussion groups, campus outreach, media, community and social services and volunteer-run committees.
CFI Halifax is one of many centres across Canada, all under the umbrella of CFI Canada.
This meetup group will serve as a hub for activities in and around Halifax, for fellow freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, humanists, skeptics, heathens and infidels - and friends and family!
While CFI Halifax-sponsored events are generally free to the public, we do ask you to consider supporting our efforts through membership or donation. To become a member or to make a tax-exempt charitable donation, please visit www.cficanada.ca/support/

•OnlineLIVING WITHOUT RELIGION - HOSTED BY VIRTUAL BRANCH
OnlineHave you given up your faith? Maybe you never had faith. Has your newfound or longstanding lack of faith been the source of difficulties? Has your lack of faith created conflicts with family? Friends? Neighbors? Coworkers? Why not take part in a discussion group where you can get things off your chest? No higher powers, no dogma. Just free expression, empathy, understanding, without judgment. We’re here for you. We are Living Without Religion, and you can too. This monthly recurring CFI Canada Virtual branch Meetup is hosted by Onur Romano every first Sunday of the month at 12pm EST (9am PST).
Living without Religion (LWR) is a monthly peer support group for those who have left their religion, are considering leaving their religion, and/or are encountering challenges with friends, family, classmates or co-workers due to religious differences. If you're already comfortable leading a secular lifestyle, you can also come to offer emotional support or advice, or just to enjoy a sense of social community that religions often offer.
Moderated by volunteers from the Virtual and Ottawa Branch of Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC), LWR meets first Sunday of every month from 12:00pm to 1:30 pm EST.
Please note that no one is here in a professional mental health capacity. We strive to be kind to each other, and as some attendees continue to hold faith in a deity or spiritual ideas, this is not a forum to challenge or convert anyone's current beliefs.To join, log into Zoom:
