Our keynote speaker Dr Darrel Ray taking to the stage to discuss how religion impacts the brain. It’s fascinating and horrifying in equal measure to hear about the effect of purity culture and shame on individuals in high-control religious groups.

And we’re off with #AposConf25!

Faith to Faithless is ten years old this year, and we’re celebrating with our first in-person conference, focusing on the mental heath impacts of leaving high-control religions, and we have an incredible line-up of international experts.

We’re thrilled to host solicitor Kathleen Hallisey to speak at the Apostasy Conference in London 1 Oct.

Kathleen defends survivors of abuse in religious settings and campaigns for legislation change to protect people from coercive cultic abuse.

Tickets: humanists.uk/events/apost...

We can't wait to welcome back our friend @apostatealex.bsky.social Alexander Barnes-Ross, former Scientologist and activist to talk at the Apostasy Conference on 1 Oct in London.

Limited tickets still available: humanists.uk/events/apost...

This year marks 10 years of Faith to Faithless 💛

For a decade, we’ve supported people leaving high-control religions — often at great personal cost.

Help us keep going for the next 10 years. Every gift makes a difference.

Leaving religion can be isolating, and years later, even if most of life's improved, we still benefit from connecting with others who share that experience. If you live near Manchester, we meet there monthly.
