Wiki- Humanism is a group of philosophies and ethical perspectives which emphasize the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers individual thought and evidence (rationalism, empiricism) over established doctrine or faith (fideism). The term humanism can be ambiguously diverse, and there has been a persistent confusion between several related uses of th

e term because different intellectual movements have identified with it over time.[1] In philosophy and social science, humanism refers to a perspective that affirms some notion of a "human nature" (contrasted with anti-humanism). In modern times, many humanist movements have become strongly aligned with secularism, with the term Humanism often used as a byword for non-theistic beliefs about ideas such as meaning and purpose; however, early humanists were often religious, such as Ulrich von Hutten, a strong supporter of Martin Luther and the Reformation. Though we are logical and rational in nature, we are not exclusively secular. We "Coexist" and will work with or along side any person faith or doctrine that is in good cause. We understand that being able to come together is just as important as knowing where to stand apart from ideas or practices we feel are toxic or unnecessary. We want to give people an open platform and community in order to be able to think and process freely, big questions in their life. These groups our here for support, of our own growth mentally, emotionally and yes even spiritually through the different programs we offer. We also at the same time want be a hand and foot in the communities local and abroad, helping, giving and volunteering.
