Recovering Religionists

Recovering Religionists are people discovering the joy of living superstition free. Individuals who want to interact with others who are escaping their religious upbringing and want the social support that religion offers, without all the religious and superstitious baggage. Instead of praying for you, we will listen and support you. In stead of telling you how much Jesus or Allah cares, we will provide the care. Instead of asking what your astrological birth sign is, we will help you celebrate your birthday. We will challenge you to think for yourself and to think rationally about the problems we all face in life. We will encourage you to seek the best answers and avoid the easy ones that religion uses to trap and ensnare.

We welcome anyone, but we are not interested if you are coming to share your faith or tells us about your god, Jesus, or Allah. You can leave your tea leaves and crystals at home. Don't ask what anyone's sign is. If you want to preach or pray for us, do it in your church. We are leaving religion, not changing to yours.
