What we’re about

Red Bank Humanists, founded in 2003, is a nonprofit organization devoted to the philosophy of secular humanism. If you are a skeptic, agnostic, atheist, nonbeliever, freethinker, humanist, or just plain post-theological, then please join us. Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
