What we’re about
Humanists of Southeast Michigan began in 1977 as a membership chapter of the American Humanist Association, a non-profit educational organization. The purpose of the Humanists of Southeast Michigan has been to promote the ideals of the "Humanist Manifesto - Humanism and its Aspirations" that express an ethical, democratic, naturalistic life-stance that challenges irrationality, promotes critical thinking and the separation of church and state. We present a system of Humanist ethics that is a rational alternative to those based in religion and encourage connections among thoughtful people in our community. We presently are looking to revive our formal status with the AHA, and invite all who share our ideals to participate with us.

Humanist Friendsgiving
Loco's Tex-Mex Grille, 454 East Lafayette Street, Detroit, MI, USA night of food, community, and unapologetic joy — for those who think freely.
The holidays can be complicated — especially for Atheists, Humanists, Skeptics, Agnostics, Non-Believers, and all free-thinking minds who don’t always feel seen, supported, or understood this time of year.
So let’s start a new tradition together.
Join us for the Inaugural Atheists/Humanist Friendsgiving — a warm, welcoming, delicious, and delightfully irreverent evening built for connection, comfort, and celebration. This is our time to gather, recharge, laugh, and support one another as we head into the holiday season.
Whether you usually float through November solo, have a complicated family dynamic, or simply love good company, great food, and like-minded conversation — you belong here.
