CFA Program
|
The Center for Atheism (CFA) was
established by the New York City Atheists as a separate and independent
national organization to propose, develop, and be a catalyst for new
national activities supporting the objectives of atheists, agnostics,
humanists, freethinkers, skeptics, secularists and
separation-of-church-and-state advocates.
CFA will accept and review suggestions from
individuals and other secular organizations that will foster our goals.
