Where curiosity is celebrated
At Atheists United, we understand better than anyone the importance of creating a safe, secular space for people to explore their ideas, identities, and values. Youth should be celebrated, not shamed, for asking honest questions.
According the [US Secular Survey](https://www.secularsurvey.org/youth):
• 15% lower rate of depression among youth active in a local secular community
• More than a third of secular youth had negative experiences with family due to their nonreligious identity
• One third of secular youth had negative experience in education due to their nonreligious identity
• Nearly 50% of young people are religiously unaffiliated

At Atheists United, we are committed to creating safe, inclusive, and harassment-free environments at all of our events. By participating in an event hosted by Atheists United you agree to follow behavior outlined in our [Event Code of Conduct](https://www.atheistsunited.org/policies) policy.
