They aim to reduce discrimination faced by those who leave Islam, advocate for acceptance of religious dissent, and promote secular values.

EXMNA counter the isolation facing non-theist Ex-Muslims by fostering communities and support networks.

They strive to amplify diverse Ex-Muslim voices and experiences, and stand against those who seek to stifle criticism of Islam.

Ex-Muslims of North America is the first organization of its kind to establish communities exclusive to ex-muslims in order to foster a sense of camaraderie and offer a space free of judgement for lack of religiosity. EXMNA has established local chapters in 18 cities across the United States and Canada, with hundreds of ex-muslims taking part in local meetups.

As part of their mission to raise the voices and ideas of ex-muslims, they launched The Ex-Muslim – the world’s first and only online magazine and blogroll offering a nuanced insight on Islam from former Muslims.

EXMNA representatives speak at conferences across the United States and Canada as well as appear on various media outlets when the opportunity arises.
