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.

•OnlineRMA Movie Night: The Farmers of Kherson
OnlineJoin for a movie and a discussion on the 4th Monday of each month.
It will be interesting, informative and/or make you think! This will be online via Zoom.
This is a busy time of the year, so the event will be shorter - a half-hour documentary followed by discussion.
The film tells about Kherson farmer Oleksandr, who is the embodiment of Ukrainian resistance and spirit. The story also shines a spotlight on the resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people. It is not a cheerful topic, but I think it is necessary for us to remember what some people in our world are faced with.
