Secular Support
Minnesota Atheists provides social support to nonbelievers, but some people leaving religion may want or need services more specialized than what we can provide.
- Recovering From Religion offers support to those struggling with religious doubt or leaving religion, people dealing with religious trauma, and those who are looking for nonreligious resources on mental health.
- The Secular Student Alliance empowers secular students to proudly express their identity, build welcoming communities, promote secular values, and set a course for lifelong activism.
- The Clergy Project’s Mission is to provide support, community, and hope to current and former religious professionals who no longer hold supernatural beliefs.
