Humanists of Greater Portland

Humanists of Greater Portland Humanists of Greater Portland (HGP) is a supportive secular community for those who wish to live “good without gods."

Humanism is a non-theistic philosophy which
- affirms the inherent dignity and worth of every human being;
- encourages the use of science, reason, and free inquiry;
- promotes ethical principles and social compassion. Humanists of Greater Portland (HGP) is a chapter of the American Humanist Association (AHA). We are a secular group for those who seek improvement in this life by
-applying reason,

science, and free inquiry to solving human problems;
-advocating freedom, happiness, and progress for all humanity;
-using the democratic process to seek justice and fairness in all societies;
-supporting moral principles that have been validated by consequences;
-accepting kinship with the natural world;
-holding humans responsible for human destiny;
-seeking natural rather than supernatural explanations. HGP is a friendly organization where people who share these values can learn, explore, help, and play together.

A good synopsis. Basically, we just say Humanism, and forget about the secular, because most people that call themselves Humanist are secular also.

Rather than put faith in the invisible, unfathomable, and improbable, Secular Humanists put their faith in the visible, discernible, testable, and real: people’s ingenuity, stamina, talent, kindness, and thirst for the ethical.

Secular Humanism is an alternative to a religious worldview. It is based on ethics, empiricism, and humane living.
