What we’re about
The Association of Black Humanists (ABH), formally London Black Atheists (LBA), welcomes you all. Our mission is to support and encourage all people, particularly those from the African Diaspora, who are Freethinkers, Non-believers, Atheists and of course, Humanists. If you are questioning religion and want to meet like-minded people, then ABH is the group for you.
It is well documented that for social and historical reasons religion has become an intrinsic part of African and African-Caribbean people’s lives, thus making it extremely difficult to leave religion or to come out as a non-believer. ABH provides a confidential, friendly, welcoming and supportive environment for people who want to liberate their minds from the restrictive thinking of religion, but are wary of receiving a hostile reaction from their family and friends, leaving them isolated with no one to turn to and nowhere to go. Our belief in freedom and equality for all is deeply rooted in ethical humanist values, scepticism and reason.
ABH have meetups for serious discussions on a wide range of topics connected to beliefs, science, social issues, religion, race, sexuality and gender amongst other things. We actively seek to advance our understanding of our stunning, incredible universe, from a natural perspective. A universe that does not need a supernatural creator to explain it's existence, nor how it functions. We also meetup socially for fun, entertainment and outings, everyone is welcome to join us.

To mark the birthday of Dr Tai Solarin, 20th August 1922, Association of Black Humanists celebrate and recognise the contribution of African humanists in Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. This year,2025, we will celebrate Tai Solarin Day on Saturday 30th August 2025 with a talk and Q&A followed by a meal at 805 Restaurant.
Join us at 805 Restaurant, 805 Old Kent Road, SE15 1NX, at 4pm, as we honour the life and legacy of Tai Solarin – Nigerian educator, writer, and fearless humanist who championed truth, reason, and social justice. A passionate advocate for Pan-African progress, Solarin dedicated his life to challenging dogma, promoting education, and inspiring Africans to think freely and act boldly. On this day, we celebrate not just his achievements, but the values he stood for: integrity, equality, and the belief that a better Africa is built through critical thought and human endeavour.
