What we’re about
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.

•OnlineWeCanReason Webinar - Ghost hunting for skeptics with Jon Michael
OnlineDescription: In this presentation, Jon will go over his journey from ghost hunter to skeptic. He will discuss the history of ghost hunting, bring us up to speed on the state of ghost hunting today, and delve into the mind of a believer in relation to the paranormal.
About the Speaker:
Jon Michael is an Investigator of Paranormal Claims who helps believers examine alleged supernatural phenomena through scientific methodology. His journey from believer to skeptic uniquely positions him to promote skepticism and scientific reasoning within the paranormal community using a mix of empathy and reason. Drawing from his background in philosophy, his current role as a computer engineer, as well as being a former ghost hunter himself, he deconstructs popular ghost hunting practices through his social media presence "Jon Michael Has Questions"If you are not an RMA member, please consider becoming one (its only $20/year) or donating to help cover costs (Meetup fees, website, Zoom, etc.).
