What we’re about
Doubt your beliefs? Have questions about changing or leaving your faith?
You are not alone, and we are here to help.
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 passion 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.
We are here to help each other through this journey.
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 (844) 368-2848 to speak with someone or go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org to chat online.
If you’re seeking professional help, we can 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. Connect with them at www.seculartherapy.org.

Thanksgiving RfR VIRTUAL Support Group Meeting
It's nearly Thanksgiving and many of us may be struggling emotionally around the holidays, so RfR is hosting an informal support group / hangout for everyone who may feel alone and need to talk. Please come as you are and drop in as needed. This meeting is open to all RfR members and will be held virtually. Attendees are welcome to share, but may also remain anonymous if they so choose.
This event is meant for support on what for some can be a challenging day. This SPECIAL Thanksgiving support group/hangout is more casual than a regular support group so it's ok if you can't stay for long or need to drop in partway through. This can be a challenging day for some, so we want to provide support to each other. Please join us!
The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing and personal support to individuals as they examine or let go of their religious beliefs.

As such, the support meetings are safe and anonymous places to express these doubts, fears, and experiences without biased feedback or proselytizing.

The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support group is to provide ongoing peer 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.
These groups are free, small group style meetings. No professional therapist is present, group leaders are volunteers trained in peer support. You are not required to give your real name or show your face on camera. You will be invited, but not required to talk about yourself and your experiences.
Be aware that trolls sometimes appear. Your group leader will make every effort to eject anyone behaving badly as quickly as possible.
