Established in 1992 as a registered Canadian charity, the Society of Freethinkers (SOFREE) is an active and welcoming fellowship of Humanists, atheists, and agnostics that encourages critical thinking, promotes secular laws and public policies, and cultivates a strong sense of connection and support among our members and the broader Humanist community.
