    Please visit here to understand why we are starting this group.

    How does the intersection of culture and religion impact your life? Do you sometimes pretend that you believe in the religious rituals? Do you feel awkward sometimes at family gatherings when you pretend to believe?

    Online Discussion Topic - Identity formation – Who are you?


    August 25, 2021

    Are you a visible minority in Canada? Do you feel sometimes that you are racialized here in Canada?

    If you identify as one of the above, then join us in an online discussion on identity. How do you identify yourself to others, your family, your friends, and society? How do the prisms of others identify you? Are there disparate views on your identity?
    Do religious and cultural values impact your identity?

    We think these can be interesting questions to discuss as being a racialized atheist/agnostic comes with questions of identity that are our own and that are imposed by others.

    As the pandemic and fires prevent us from meeting in person, join us in an online discussion.

    Join our online discussion via this group - https://www.meetup.com/Racialized-atheists-agnostics-kelowna
