August Apostate’s Picnic

Join us for the August Freethought Picnic honoring Apostates - those who have left religion. All atheists/agnostics/non-religious are welcome, of course, regardless if you had to leave a religion or were lucky enough to be raised without religion.

It will be a potluck picnic at the brand-new net-zero Bryant Park Shelter in Bloomington which has seating both indoors and outdoors. The interior space is really nice, with bathrooms, a kitchen, and plenty of windows to outside. A charcoal grill is available. There is a playground nearby.

International Apostasy Day is the day before, so to honor this day, we are we are pairing up this picnic with a Debaptism Ceremony performed by our own Secular Celebrant, Steve Adams. Affirm your status as an apostate by becoming debaptized with a hair dryer. We will provide certificates to commemorate the event.

We will also have a short program featuring Patrick Elliott with FFRF who will give an update on what their organization has been doing.
