Faith to Faithless

Faith to Faithless was founded in 2015 to raise awareness of apostasy and support those who have left religion in the UK.

Belief in a religion is a fundamental human right and with it is the right not to believe. Unfortunately, this is not afforded to everyone, and for some people leaving their religion can be a complicated, challenging, and dangerous process.

We stage regular panel discussion events and lectures across the UK as well as hosting apostate socials and peer support meetings.
