What we’re about

This Los Angeles based group holds Zoom meetings on the FIRST TUESDAY of every month. When the pandemic subsides, we will also be meeting in-person on the THIRD TUESDAY of every month in the Los Angeles area.

Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith? You are not alone, and we are here to help each other through this journey. Learning how to live after questions, doubts, and changing beliefs is a journey. We at Recovering from Religion are intimately familiar with this path and are here to help you to cross that bridge. Our mission is connecting others with support, resources, community, and most of all, hope.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. As such the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing.

If you would like to participate in a Zoom meeting before our next scheduled Los Angeles meeting, we invite you to attend any of the nationwide online Group Meetings, where every attendee has time to tell their story of "leaving religion" and meet fellow travelers.

Also, you are welcome to attend the Guest Speaker RfRx series every Monday evening, to hear informative lectures, followed by Q&A.

If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a hotline and online chat for that express purpose. Call 84-I-DOUBT-IT (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone or go to Chat Online (click on the icon in the lower left corner of that page).

If you’re seeking professional help, we offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist. All therapists have been thoroughly vetted by our organization and offer only evidence-based and non-religious treatment.

RfR has an immense collection of well-curated Resources available as you go through your journey. These are for mental and physical crises, working with relationships, for issues stemming from specific religions, coming out stories, and much more.
