SECTION TWO: CFA PROGRAMS 

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/state advocates.  

 

CFA will accept and review suggestions from individuals and other secular organizations that will foster our goals.
