This holiday season, Recovering From Religion invites you to a festive gathering with no dogma required. Join RfR volunteers and for a lighthearted, secular celebration inspired by everyone’s favorite parody holiday traditions.
We’ll share some of the funniest (and rudest) grievances we’ve received over the past year, test our brains with feats of (intellectual) strength, and share the many ways we enjoy the holidays without religious messaging.
Whether you’re navigating the holidays without religion, or just looking for a place to relax and enjoy the season on your own terms, this episode is your invitation to pull up a chair and hang out with us.
Hosted by Kara Griffin, Online-Programming Director

The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. 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. We are here to help each other through this journey.

Any time you are struggling with religious doubts or fears you can connect with a trained RfR Helpline agent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To chat online go to http://www.recoveringfromreligion.org.
