CFI Portland Meetup Group 4.00 4.0046

We invite you to join our community of secular humanists and other people who love life and reason. Here, you can exchange ideas and experiences, make new friends and contribute to positive change. We also have a vibrant community of families where parents can find support in raising children well without religion.

The CFI Community of Portland is an educational nonprofit organization that seeks to advance reason, science, and freedom of inquiry in all areas of human endeavor, and to present affirmative, rational ethical alternatives to the reigning paranormal and religious systems of belief. We promote critical thinking and humanist values through education, outreach and social services.

Check out our regular social and educational programs and our sponsored groups, the Secular Parenting Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/cfi-spm/), where secular families can find community and humanistic education, the Beaverton Atheist Meetup (http://www.meetup.com/cfi-bam/) on the west side of town, and the Secular Humanists of East Portland (http://www.meetup.com/cfi-shep/) on the east side of town, both of which provide a casual atmosphere where non-believers can enjoy each other's company.
