So What is a Humanist?
Having become comforable with the label "humanist,' We are often surprised when people ask us what humanism is. It is possible that no topic is discussed more in humanist circles than the meaning of that word! The term can be used in a narrow or a broad sense, has historical connotations, and can be linked to a number of contemporary labels that some people find preferable.
But let us attempt to answer the question in a way that is sure to elicit debate...

Why join a Humanist Association?Freethinkers often pride themselves on their independence, and many are content to hold their beliefs in private. Some are reluctant to acknowledge their naturalistic worldview openly, for fear of offending a parent, spouse or employer. Others are simply not interested in joining groups mainly devoted to discussion and fellowship.. |
