Maine Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation
The Maine Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation is a welcoming group of skeptics, freethinkers, atheists, humanists, liberals, and other infidels who actively support the separation of religion and government. We testify on bills that affect human rights, write the monthly column “In Reason We Trust,” published in the Kennebec Journal and the Morning Sentinel, and bring nationally known speakers to Maine.
Welcome To Maine Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation
Meetings & Current Events
We have had a table at the Common Ground Country Fair in Unity for about five years. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, many new people joined the chapter at the fair, and donations increased as well. It’s as though the Supreme Court gave us a gift but at the expense of denying women their constitutional right to choose. Well over 60% of Americans were outraged at the court’s edict and the increase in chapter membership and donations reflect that outrage.
You are invited to talk with friendly, supportive people concerned about the social and political turmoil the country is in. Those who do not support the separation of church and state tend not to stop at our table.
The fair offers something for everyone from activities centered around sustainable living, entertainment, and keynote speakers to activities for children. The fair is always held the third weekend in September.
The Maine Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation is the only Atheist organization in Maine that works to defend your freedom from religion. The chapter writes the monthly column “In Reason We Trust,” published in the Kennebec Journal and the Morning Sentinel. You can also connect with the chapter on Facebook (https://ffrfmaine.org).

Testimonials
I enjoyed your column and appreciate your explanation of how development affects gender and gender identity. Our Episcopal church welcomes LGBTQ people. Anyone seeking a relationship with God is welcome to explore their beliefs in an atmosphere that encourages everyone to find their own truth.
Episcopalians do not believe in ‘absolutism and no one will tell you, “Well, you cannot be an Episcopalian if you don’t believe that.” Much harm has been done to people in the name of religion, just look at the religious right today.
I’m happy to learn about the Mama Bears who support Christian families with LGBTQ children. (https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/documentaries/mama-bears/)
I think your article is the best article you’ve written to date! It sounds like you recognize some Christians are working for the good of all, especially our LGBTQ children.
I always like your columns, and yesterday’s was no exception. It is dreadful how insidiously pseudo-Christianity has inserted itself into every system that gives it power and control and how easily it dupes those it controls. I say pseudo because it has nothing to do with its purported origin, of course. Thank you for your articles, which are always intelligent and well-researched, supported with facts. You care and somehow have escaped becoming cynical. I appreciate that what you write always embodies truth, equity, and justice and exposes hypocrisy, racism, misogyny, and other evil raising their ugly heads even higher.
