About Us

Advocating for a harmonious society without religion

The mission of 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. We are a non profit society based  in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Ethical behaviour

Rational thought

Democracy and human rights

Personal liberty balanced with social responsibility 

An alternative to dogmatic religion

creativity and imagination

• Upholding of Human Rights, particularly those enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18, which states:

“Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.”

• Applying the scientific method, critical thinking, and evidence as tools to evaluate information.
