Religious Recovery Links

in

These links are to websites relevant to religious recovery.

The Secular Web
"The Secular Web is an online community of nonbelievers dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and tolerance. Our goal is to defend and promote metaphysical naturalism , the view that our natural world is all that there is, a closed system in no need of an explanation and sufficient unto itself. We want to uphold the dignity of humanity and to encourage the avid pursuit of philosophy and the scientific enterprise. To disbelieve in the gods, as Emma Goldman wrote, is at the same time to affirm life, purpose, and beauty."

The Ex-Christian Webring
"Members of this ring are former Christians who have left the religion for various reasons. Some may be atheists, while others may be neo-pagan, Buddhist or Jewish. (The owner is an Unitarian Universalist and an atheist.) Sites in this ring might be of assistance to those who are questioning their faith in the tenets of Christianity."

The Freethought Webring
"The Internet Infidels are an international coalition of freethinkers working together to promote naturalistic worldviews on the Internet. The purpose of the Freethought Ring is to provide Secular Web readers with a convenient way of finding sites with similar or related content."

Secular Spirituality
"Secular Spirituality strives to be a supportive and informative resource for people who are seeking to cultivate a nontheistic, Earth-based spirituality. Letting go of supernaturalism has the potential to be the empowering foundation of a life fully lived. Opening to and embracing and celebrating this life in this world, we no longer squander our lives in transcendent fantasies but instead invest ourselves wholeheartedly in the here and now, to the benefit of ourselves and our world."

This site also provides links for:

  • Cultivating Secular Spirituality
  • Recovering From Fundamentalism
  • Freethought and Secular Humanist

Walk Away
"The Walk Away website is a place where former fundamentalists can read the stories of other people who have left fundamentalism behind. Please note that it is not our intention to convince anyone to leave their religion. These pages are for those who have already decided to do so and are seeking support."

Freedom From Religion Foundation
This nonprofit organization works to 1) keep church and state separate, and 2) to educate the public about the views of nontheists. They have a collection of freethought books and "nontracts."

Ex-Christian Net."A forum for commentary on ex-christian and first hand experiences to encourage ex-christians. The site includes letters, testimonies, online chat room, recent articles and archives."

The Atheist Alliance . "The Atheist Alliance is the only democratic national atheist organization in the United States."

Detox. "The religious recovery webzine... the purpose of DETOX is to motivate, to inspire, and -- above all -- to amuse."

Escape The Dogma.   "This Australian offering chronicles the owner's emergence from Christianity, while maintaining his core beliefs regarding ethics and humanity... there's a lot here."

Faith Freedom Internation. "This site is created by ex-Muslims to help Muslims leave Islam. Islam is a lie and this site is the proof. If anyone can prove us wrong, this website will be removed... Muslims are not terrorists. Islamic terrorism is due to the bad teachings of the Quran."

Freedom and Recovery from Mormonism. "This is a site for those who are questioning their faith in the organization (Mormonism) and for those who need support as they transition their lives to a normal life."

Leaving Christianity. "An obviously heartfelt and personal collection of resources and stories for "deconverts" of christianity."

No, I'm Not a Christian -- Not Anymore!. "James Buckner offers a variety of letters and essays which helped him to escape the clutches of mind control."

Operation Clambake - The Inner Secrets Of Scientology. "The fight against Scientology on the Net... a strange and utterly amazing foray into the dark and little known world of Scientology... be ready to pick your jaw up from off the floor."

Recovering from Spiritual Abuse.  "A victim of spiritual abuse himself, Henry Sheppard created this site for three reasons: therapy, and encouraging and contacting others who were similarly victimized."

Religion Detoxification.  This is a very interesting offering... "The most noteworthy aspect of Humankind is our amazing ability to use tools to make other tools. The "Religion Detoxification" web guide explores the historical development of Convention Religions as a "social tool to make other social tools.""

Fundamentalists Anonymous.  "The purpose for Fundamentalists Anonymous is to put people in touch with available resources, and testimonies, of individuals who have abandoned fundamentalism, cults, and religious fanaticism. This project (started October 19, 2003) is designed to index every known testimony of De-Conversion from all religions, that exists on the web - including in-depth details (as much as the person feels comfortable with)."

The Ex-tian. "A collection of essays and letters on the topic of leaving any religion."
