About us
Welcome to the Rocky Mountain Atheists!
The mission of the Rocky Mountain Atheists (RMA) is to be a safe and supportive secular community dedicated to serving society; to support those who have been marginalized or traumatized as a result of faith-based beliefs; and to provide and promote evidence-based learning opportunities.
RMA is so much more than a Meetup group! We typically host about 10 events per month, most of them free. Our activities include social gatherings, peer support, community service, and educational activities. If you would like to learn more about our organization, please visit us at www.rockymountainatheists.ca
A note about respectful behaviour:
We are an inclusive community of atheists, humanists, skeptics and secular freethinkers who welcome people of all backgrounds and identities.
We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behaviour. Disagreements should be resolved in a constructive manner and without personal attacks. Challenge ideas, not people. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behaviour aren’t acceptable.

·OnlineOnlineWeCanReason Webinar - Things That Go Bump (in Your Brain): The Psychology of Hauntings with Rodney Schmaltz
Ever wondered why some people swear they’ve seen a ghost? Dr. Rodney Schmaltz takes you inside the psychology of hauntings. We’ll explore how low-frequency sound waves can cause unusual feelings, the power of expectation, and how easily the brain can turn shadows into something spooky. You’ll also learn how to build your own psychomanteum (no spirits required).
About the Speaker:
Dr. Rodney Schmaltz is a professor in the Department of Psychology at MacEwan University. His research focuses on the psychology of belief, with a particular interest in how people evaluate extraordinary claims. He also conducts research on popular misconceptions about productivity and self-control, applying psychological science to challenge misleading narratives in the workplace and beyond. He is committed to helping people develop strong critical thinking skills and an appreciation for the value of scientific evidence in everyday life. His work aims to improve scientific literacy in both academic and public settings, using research-based strategies to help people separate good information from bad. He is one of the co-authors of Scott Lilienfeld’s Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding, a bestselling textbook that integrates scientific skepticism into the study of psychology.Get ready for WeCanReason 2026 — Western Canada’s premier conference for science, skepticism, and rational thought, happening in Calgary this May.
