Help Persecuted Freethinkers

Free Hearts Free Minds supports freethinkers who were Muslim, but have chosen to renounce the religion of Islam. A choice that could cost them their relationship with their family, their friends, or could even cost them their lives.

Free Hearts Free Minds stands alone as the only charity on the planet dedicated to providing support, education, and community for this brave and vulnerable group of dissidents.

Join our global movement to empower freethinkers to ignite ripple effects of enlightenment throughout the world.

Free Hearts Free Minds

At FHFM we empower freethinkers to empower the world.

Free Hearts Free Minds supports the individual to empower the world! Individual and group sessions are facilitated through the Lifeline program which helps our freethinkers heal from religious trauma by offering free, tailored support. Then participants join the larger FHFM community with all the past graduates, connecting them to a global community of allies, providing the tools and resources needed to rebuild their lives free from fear and persecution.

Finally, our Give-Back program empowers each individual in our community with the tools and confidence needed to spread ripples of light and truth through creating art, composing poetry, writing books, hosting podcasts, creating a book club in their community, starting a philosophy club in their university, or using whatever means they feel would be most valuable.

What We Do

At Free Hearts Free Minds, we provide a safe, supportive space for dissidents from Muslim communities who have experienced oppression, trauma, or persecution due to their identity, beliefs, or sexuality.

Connection

Former Muslims must hide who they are to ensure their safety. They are completely alone. Our community offers a safe space where freethinkers can finally be their authentic selves and can share, learn, and heal in a supportive environment with other freethinkers.

Education

The FHFM programs educate our community by encouraging critical thinking skills, offering insights into our psychology, and unpacking the symptoms of religious trauma. These informative sessions are essential in re-framing self-criticisms and misperceptions.

Tools

In each session, our group session participants are given one or more practical tools to help move through triggers and difficult experiences. These tools empower our community to feel confident in continuing their lifelong development and growth.

Our Global Impact

We have helped freethinkers from over 60 countries! We provide community, hope, support, and tools to empower freethinkers across the globe. With your help, we can reach more.

Hanan

Mauritania

I had depression. I used to feel loneliness because every day my brain reminded me I was different. I thought... maybe if you didn’t leave the religion you'd be better? I blamed myself.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of this program. It has given me a glimmer of hope in a time of immense fear and uncertainty, and I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the support offered to me in my fight for safety and freedom.

Free Hearts Free Minds is a place where you are given applicable advice. It's relevant to what I'm dealing with because it's tailored to a very specific type of struggle.

Mira

Israeli in Canada

After the program, I felt like I wasn't alone—that I was accompanied, encouraged, and acknowledged. My story was heard, and the importance of expressing myself became clear, which also gave me clarity about my next steps—like what I want to study and what I want for my future.

Sami

Iraq

For the first time in years, I'm not consumed by any burdens or dark thoughts. Instead, I find myself smiling without reason, feeling appreciation, calmness, and peace—I feel a connection to myself.

I haven't thought about killing myself for 4 months

Thank you for opening my eyes to new levels of strength; thank you for the emotional labor and time you've invested into helping us; and thank you for being in such a sensitive, demanding, and under-appreciated line of work. You are making a huge difference in people's lives.
