We are pleased to announce our next chapter event will be a screening of the film “Losing Our Religion.” a documentary focusing on clergy from different religious traditions who no longer believe in what they’ve been preaching.
Film makers were allowed access to members of The Clergy Project, an organization founded by Dan Barker, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Linda LaScola, intended to offer safe haven for ministers, pastors, priests, rabbis, imams, and other clergy whose lives have been dedicated to preaching their religious teachings, but now find themselves struggling to hold on to their friends, their community, their livelihoods, and even their family after losing their faith.
Pizza and refreshments will be served immediately following the film. Here are the details:
Date: Saturday, March 23, 2019
Time: 3:00—5:30 PM (Screening & Discussion); 5:30 PM—7:30 PM (Pizza & Socializing)
Place: Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, 7574 Lincoln Ave., Skokie, IL
Admission:
Movie Screening: Free

"An Evening with Roy Zimmerman!"
2019-05-11 20:00 - 22:00 | Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, 7574 N. Lincoln Ave., Skoke, IL, 60077, United States
Progressive and secular satirical singer/songwriter is coming back to the Chicago area.
In the current national nightmare, Roy’s signature blend of heart and hilarity has never been more necessary. His 2019 tour, RiZe Up, is 90 minutes of original songs blending a funny and forceful affirmation of peace and social justice.
Roy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime, and his videos have garnered tens of millions of views. He has shared stages with Bill Maher, Ellen DeGeneres, Robin Williams, Arlo Guthrie, John Oliver and George Carlin. He tours the country constantly with his wife and co-writer Melanie Harby. His performance this year will be the featured attraction of the Second Saturday Coffeehouse, hosted by the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago and co-sponsored by the FFRFMCC.
Date: Saturday, May 11th, 2019
Time: 8:00 PM (doors will open at 7:30 PM)
Place: The Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago, 7574 Lincoln Ave., Skokie, IL 60077
Cost: $20 suggested donation
The FFRFMCC will provide refreshments before and after the performance. And Roy will be selling copies of his CDs!
Please join us for an evening of fun and frivolity!

2020-03-14 14:00 - 19:30 | IL
We are sorry to announce that our two events scheduled for this Saturday, March 14th are being canceled due to concerns over the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
This is a precautionary measure to keep people as safe as possible, and also to do our part to help contain this virus. This cancellation involves both the FFRF legal presentation that was to take place at the Niles-Maine District Library at 2:00 PM, and the Spring Dinner Social at Las Fuentes Mexican Restaurant at 4:30 PM.
Our hope is these events can be re-scheduled in the future.
Thank you for your understanding.
