Weekly Meeting: Interacting With Religious Family

Weekly Meeting Interacting With Religious Family Thursday, Dec 5th - 7pm Ingraham Hall, Room 224 For many, religious deconversion is extremely difficult. Interacting with religious family members after deconversion is a problem encountered by many newly nonreligious people. How do you deal with overly religious family members? How do you respond when a family member asserts their religion in an aggressive or demeaning way? These questions and others will be discussed at this week's meeting, led by your Technology Chair, Elle Russell. This topic is especially relevant due to the approaching holidays, when many of us will be going home to our religious family members, where religion may be brought up in conversation or at the dinner table. Can't make the meeting? Join us afterwards at the Rathskeller around 9pm for drinks, food, and more great conversation. I hope to see you there! -Sam Erickson Outreach Chair   AHA Event Calendar Visit Our Office! 3157 SAC 3:00-6:00 Mon-Friday Like Us Follow Us Read Our Blog View Videos View Pictures Next Week: Freethought Speaker Series Enforcing State Church Separation Thursday, Dec 12th - 7pm Speaker: Andrew Seidel - Staff Attorney, Freedom From Religion Foundation Sewell Social Sciences, Room 6210 An update on the Freedom From Religion Foundation's legal strategies for defending the separation of church and state, including several ongoing lawsuits challenging the preferential treatment of churches and ministers by the Internal Revenue Service.
