About us
NOTE: This local group is currently inactive—but don’t despair! We are actively searching for a new local host. In the meantime, you are welcome to attend any of the meetings listed. All events shown here are active RfR virtual meetings (labeled as “Network event”) or meetings cross-posted from other local groups.
We strive to support as many communities as possible, but we currently don’t have enough volunteers to maintain every location. If you are interested in helping host a meeting in your area, feel free to message the RfR Host account here on Meetup or visit **recoveringfromreligion.org/volunteer** to apply.
What Recovering from Religion Is About
Do you doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith?
You are not alone—and we are here to help.
Recovering from Religion (RfR) exists to provide ongoing, personal support for individuals who are examining, changing, or choosing to let go of their religious beliefs. We are not here to deconvert anyone or tell you what to believe. We are here to offer understanding, support, and healing during what can often be a challenging and emotional transitional period.
This kind of transition can bring a wide range of feelings and may have a ripple effect across many areas of life. RfR Support Group meetings are designed to be safe, anonymous spaces where you can openly share doubts, fears, and experiences—without judgment, proselytizing, or biased feedback.
If you need someone to talk to before your meeting date, RfR offers both a hotline and an online chat for immediate support.
Call (844) 368-2848 or visit www.recoveringfromreligion.org to chat online.
There is no cost to attend our support groups. If you feel inspired to contribute, donations can be made at:
www.recoveringfromreligion.org/donate
Please note that RfR volunteers are peer supporters, not licensed therapists. If you feel you may benefit from professional mental health support, we encourage you to explore the Secular Therapy Project. This service connects you with thoroughly vetted therapists who provide only evidence-based, non-religious treatment—no rosaries, no faith healing. Fees, insurance, and sliding scale options vary by provider.

RfRx - Reclaiming Your Life After Religion, Featuring Tim Mills
·OnlineOnline14 attendees from 43 groupsThis week on RfRx, join us for a conversation with Tim Mills, the creator and host of the YouTube channel Harmonic Atheist.
Tim uses interviews, monologues, and poetry to help people escape mythology-based worldviews and reclaim their lives. As a father of four young children, Tim speaks with deep urgency about protecting young minds from indoctrination and creating spaces of emotional safety, curiosity, and love.
We will have a conversation about deconversion, religious trauma, identity, grief, courage, and the journey out religion into a life rooted in honesty, freedom, and healing.Join us either in Zoom (where you can ask questions), or watch the show live on YouTube. And remember to stay for the Zoom hangout after the show.
The first hour will be the topic discussion, followed by a Q&A session in which you can ask the guests your great questions. After the Q&A we’ll open up the lines for everyone and just talk and hangout for a bit with the hosts and guest(s). For RfRx comments, inquiries & topical questions, email us at RfRx@recoveringfromreligion.org.

We are here to help each other through this journey.
