What we’re about
BN is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Headquartered in the Atlanta area, we provide an informative, caring, festive and friendly community. We connect with other Blacks (and allies) who are living free of religion and irrational beliefs who might otherwise be shunned by family and friends. Instead of accepting dogma, we determine truth and morality through reason and evidence.
Mission Statement
The mission of Black Nonbelievers is to:
• Provide secular fellowship.
• Nurture and support nonbelievers in "coming out" (ie, open identification).
• Encourage pride in nonreligious identities.
• Educate the public on the history and current state of nonbelief in the Black community.
• Organize events and charitable causes.
Meetings
BN activities include: general meetings, support meetings, service projects, event tabling, participation in research studies, media interviews, social outings, and annual holiday celebrations.
BN welcomes all regardless of sex, sexuality, gender identity, age, national origin, or race. However, in providing a safe space for Blacks who are atheist or questioning, we do ask that non-Blacks who participate offer a supportive role and try not to dominate or center themselves in any way.

•OnlineMandisa's Scary Candy Corn Challenge for BN!
OnlineHi everyone! Mandisa Thomas here, asking you to join me in some scary fun for BN this month.
In case you don't follow me on social media, I have a serious dislike of candy corn. Many of my acquaintances, colleagues, family and friends engage in trading barbs back and forth every Halloween, from those who love it to those who loathe it, like me. However, I have decided to challenge myself and BN supporters in raising money for our beloved organization.
We need your help to raise $15,000 for our very important outreach and community engagement work. When we reach our goal - preferably BEFORE October 31st, me and now Cynthia (Chicago affiliate leader) and Kellie (Detroit affiliate leader) will do the unthinkable and eat an entire bag of candy corn - live for all to watch. BN's work is very important, and we must have some fun while we continue to navigate this very challenging time in our communities.
We are just over $2,500 funded through all of our platforms, so we are getting there. But we still need you, so PLEASE contribute. Even the smallest amount helps a great deal!
If the campaign link is not preferred, then you can donate directly through our website (linked below).
On behalf of our leadership team, I thank you for supporting our organization. Updates will be posted regularly, and if we EXCEED our goal that will be even better.
Please show your support today, and watch us eat candy corn to say thank you!!!
