Save the Date for our 10-Year Anniversary Celebration!

Join us for a celebration of our 10th Anniversary, October 20th at Salt City Market in downtown Syracuse. There'll be food, a look back at our last 10 years as a group, swag, presentations by our members, and guest speakers including Jeff Ingersoll and our featured guest, Kate Cohen, a Washington Post contributing columnist and author.

We can’t believe it’s been 10 years, and we’re so grateful for everyone who has come to our events and supported us over the years.

Kate Cohen, author of We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (And Maybe You Should Too)


About Kate Cohen

Kate Cohen is a Washington Post contributing columnist and author of We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (And Maybe You Should Too), which chronicles Kate's journey to outspoken atheism and argues that nonbelievers should be more vocal, for the good of the country. For this work and for her columns inspecting America's outsized deference to religion, the Freedom from Religion Foundation honored her with its "Freethought Heroine" award in 2023. She has spoken to groups large and small around the country, and recently gave the keynote address for the inaugural Congressional Reason Reception in Washington, D.C. Kate is the author of two previous books and the mother of three children. She lives with her husband on a hay farm in Albany, New York. 

Event Details

After Kate’s talk, there will be time for Q&A, as well as an opportunity to get your copy of her book signed.

Lunch will be provided by Salt City Market vendors, and a cash bar will be available on premises. Salt City Market is a wonderful community space with delicious food and great atmosphere.

Justin is planning to make a slideshow encompassing as much of our 10 year history as he can, so please send any photos you have to CNYHumanists@gmail.com.

The event is free, but please help us plan by RSVP-ing here. Hope to see you there!

We would like to acknowledge the generous grant we received from the American Humanist Association that is making this event possible!
