Our Mission
Our mission is to create an inclusive and vibrant non-theist community in Eastern Iowa through education, community outreach, and political activism in promoting secular humanism.
Our Vision
As secular humanists we envision a world where being good without god is an accepted and respected way of life; where science, reason, and compassion guide both public policy and personal accountability; where contributions to the greater good of humanity and the planet allow all individuals to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment.
What is Humanism?
Humanism is an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human matters rather than the divine or supernatural. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.
Our mission and vision aligns very closely with that of the American Humanist Association and so we are an official chapter of their organization. To learn more about the AHA and humanism, click the link below.
