FFRF is co-Sponsoring the 2024 International Secular Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos free online event on Friday, November 1, 2024, at 4:00 PM PDT / 7:00 PM EDT. This event is a celebration of life — nontheist Hispanics view this day as a perfect way to remember the legacies of dead loved ones in a way that does not require prayer, church, or religious dogma. To nontheists, our legacies are our afterlife. More and more people are abandoning their religious upbringing but still want to celebrate the beauty of their culture. This is why a Secular Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos Secular event was created.
Special guests include actor Jon Huertas; professor and political activist Grisch Raether; film and digital animator Yoa Martínez; neuroscientist and biomolecular engineer Sergio Labra; professional illustrator and artist Marco Lorenzana; and professor of theater Enrique Castillo.
