Believe in optimized patient outcomes based on evidence-based medicine free of religious doctrine

Mission and Goals

At the American Society of Atheist Physicians, we are united by a shared commitment to the principles of scientific inquiry, evidence-based medicine, and secular humanism. Our mission is to:

  1. Promote Excellence in Healthcare: We strive to foster an environment that encourages continuous learning, innovation, and the highest standards of medical practice.

  2. Advocate for Secular Values in Medicine: We believe in the separation of religion and medicine. We work to ensure that healthcare decisions are based on the best scientific evidence available, not religious doctrine.

  3. Support Our Members: We provide a supportive community for atheist physicians. We offer resources, networking opportunities, and a platform for dialogue and collaboration.

  4. Educate the Public: We aim to increase public understanding of atheism and secularism in the medical field, and to dispel myths and misconceptions about atheistic values in healthcare.

  5. Engage in Policy and Advocacy: We actively engage in healthcare policy discussions and advocate for the rights of atheist physicians and their patients.

Our vision is a world where healthcare is guided by science and compassion, free from religious influence. We invite all medical professionals who share our mission to join us in this endeavor.
