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.

CFI Portland is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission it is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, free inquiry, and humanist values. We seek 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 Family Network ( http://www.meetup.com/cfi-sfn/), 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, the Secular Humanists of East Portland ( http://www.meetup.com/cfi-shep/) on the east side of town, the Vancouver Skeptics ( http://www.meetup.com/cfi-vsm/) just north of Portland, all of which provide a casual atmosphere where non-believers can enjoy each other's company. We have additional satellite groups outside of Portland in Eugene, Coos Bay, and Grants Pass.

Join us in our monthly "Food for Thought" meetup at the Multnomah Arts Center in SW Portland, in which we gather on a Friday evening to enjoy a guest lecturer, followed by a family-friendly community dinner.

To support our group by becoming a Friend of the Center, and for more information, visit:
