CFI Portland

We invite you to join our community of secular humanists and other people who love life and reason. Here, you can exchange ideas and experiences, make new friends and contribute to positive change. We also have a vibrant community of families where parents can find support in raising children well without religion.

CFI Portland is an educational nonprofit organization whose mission it is to foster a secular society based on science, reason, free inquiry, and humanist values. We seek to present affirmative, rational ethical alternatives to the reigning paranormal and religious systems of belief. We promote critical thinking and humanist values through education, outreach and social services.
Check out our regular social and educational programs and our sponsored groups, the [CFI Secular Family Network](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-sfn/), where secular families can find community and humanistic education, the [CFI Beaverton Atheist Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-bam/) on the west side of town, the [CFI Secular Humanists of East Portland](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-shep/) on the east side of town, the [CFI Vancouver Skeptics](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-vsm/) just north of Portland, all of which provide a casual atmosphere where non-believers can enjoy each other's company. We have additional satellite groups outside of Portland in [Eugene](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-eugene), [Salem](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-salem), [Coos Bay](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-scs), and [Grants Pass](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-rvf/). We even sponsor [Secular Walk and Talk](http://www.meetup.com/cfi-portland/) for those who'd like to get in some exercise and/or coffee with like-minded folks in your area.
