Humanist Fellowship of San Diego

Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

~ Knowledge of the world is derived by observation, experimentation, and rational analysis.

~ Humans are an integral part of nature, the result of unguided evolutionary change.

~ Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience.

~ Life's fulfillment, emerges from individual participation in the service of humane ideals.

~ Humans are social by nature and find meaning in relationships.

~ Working to benefit society maximizes individual happiness.

Join us for fellowship, conversation, and intellectual discovery. We look forward to meeting you!
