This week on RfRx, join us in an exploration of religious harm in Latin America. Teo El Ateo will discuss his personal experiences and provide information on religious-based harm ranging from political corruption to violent crime, accusations of witchcraft, and exorcisms. We’ll discuss challenges faced by people who have been harmed by religion in the Hispanic world and services that are available to help.

Teo el Ateo, is a Hispanic Atheist V-Tuber and activist who works to expose the harms caused by religion in the Hispanic world and create spaces for people to speak freely and ask questions about faith without fear of rejection or discrimination. His channel Nuestra Experiencia Atea (Our Atheist Experience) is dedicated to denouncing the harms of religion and combating misinformation. Check it out here:    / @nuestraexperienciaatea

The primary focus of Recovering from Religion (RfR) is to offer hope, healing, and support to those struggling with issues of doubt and non-belief. This transitional period is an ongoing process that can result in a range of emotions, as well as a ripple effect of consequences throughout an individual’s life. We are here to help each other through this journey.
