LIVING WITHOUT RELIGION - HOSTED BY VIRTUAL BRANCH
·OnlineOnlineHave you given up your faith? Maybe you never had faith. Has your newfound or longstanding lack of faith been the source of difficulties? Has your lack of faith created conflicts with family? Friends? Neighbors? Coworkers? Why not take part in a discussion group where you can get things off your chest? No higher powers, no dogma. Just free expression, empathy, understanding, without judgment. We’re here for you. We are Living Without Religion, and you can too. This monthly recurring CFI Canada Virtual branch Meetup is hosted by Onur Romano every first Sunday of the month at 12pm EST (9am PST).
Living without Religion (LWR) is a monthly peer support group for those who have left their religion, are considering leaving their religion, and/or are encountering challenges with friends, family, classmates or co-workers due to religious differences. If you're already comfortable leading a secular lifestyle, you can also come to offer emotional support or advice, or just to enjoy a sense of social community that religions often offer.
Moderated by volunteers from the Virtual and Ottawa Branch of Centre for Inquiry Canada (CFIC), LWR meets first Sunday of every month from 12:00pm to 1:30 pm EST.
Please note that no one is here in a professional mental health capacity. We strive to be kind to each other, and as some attendees continue to hold faith in a deity or spiritual ideas, this is not a forum to challenge or convert anyone's current beliefs.To join, log into Zoom:

How the LNT Model Misled Radiation Science for 70 years
·OnlineOnlineZoom Webinar: How the LNT Model Misled Radiation Science for 70 years - A safer and cheaper nuclear choice
Sunday, March 1, 2026
8:00 PM Eastern Time
Register hereRick Mott will be presenting on how the current radiation protection standards came to be accepted worldwide, the issues, errors and “head scratching” with how we got to this point. Rick will then discuss how radiation protection standards need to be improved, updated and based on overwhelming scientific data and evidence.
Rick is a retired electrical engineer. He spent a career designing software and signal processing electronics for X-ray spectrometry. He has been granted 7 US patents and is co-inventor of 5 more. He led the engineering team at Princeton Gamma-Tech (PGT), which received two R&D 100 awards in 1994 and 1996. A PGT gamma detector at a nuclear power plant in Sweden was the first outside the Soviet Union to recognize the Chernobyl reactor accident.
This presentation is based on the writings of Jack Devanney, including his new book “How We Can Make Nuclear Cheap Again” and various posts from his Substack blog, including The Case for 2mSv/day v2.0."
