What, Exactly, Do We Do?

Activism

We consider activism an important part of our organization’s work. We actively support the separation between religion and government as the best means to guarantee equal treatment for all, regardless of religious belief.

As Florida’s only chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), we help across the state in answering questions related to state/church separation and similar issues.

community

Being a non-believer in a religious area can often be isolating. We are building a community of atheists, Humanists, freethinkers and religious skeptics who will have a place to socialize and discuss issues important to us, but we also want to create a landing pad for those who may be doubting their faith or leaving their religion.

Often, when people leave religious beliefs behind, they lose more than belief in a god. Sometimes family severs contact and church friends may distance themselves. When one’s religious community is gone, it is easy to find oneself lost and alone. If this is you, please know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is a community here that cares for and values you; no commandments required.

If you are anywhere near Central Florida, we would love to see you! Check out our Facebook Events Page or Meetup Page to find an event near you. Come out and get to know your friendly neighborhood atheists!

Education

Every month the CFFC has an educational event which provides an opportunity to expand our knowledge while creating a place where we can challenge our own preconceptions.

We value curiosity and learning in order to better understand the world. This requires that we be open to thinking rationally and critically about the things we believe to be true.

We also work to educate the local community through presentations to local colleges and community groups on atheism, secularism, Humanism, and matters relating to non-theism and the importance of a separation between religion and government.

SERVICE

We believe in making the world a better place through our actions, and we know it is important to demonstrate our concern for local communities through active participation.

In 2016, the CFFC adopted Kewannee Park in Casselberry, and in 2021, we adopted Oviedo Blvd in Oviedo. We participate in an annual STEM book and toy drive and regularly volunteer with various local organizations.

Being out and proud as we engage in the community helps dispel misconceptions about atheists. We want to be known as a group of secular Humanists, atheists, and non-believers who show up whenever there’s a need.
