Who are we? We are secular people living in the Boston Metropolitan area (extending into southern New Hampshire and down the Cape) who believe in Humanism and a humanistic worldview. We like to get together welcoming other atheists and freethinking people, in formal or informal humanistically-oriented activities, such as our monthly speaker series, small group socials, and luncheon meetings, as well as the occasional film or community event. We also try to promote other relevant secular and humanistic events from other chapters and groups in this geographical area. Ask to be on our email list for free newletter or check this site and FB frequently.
We are a membership organization and a chapter of the American Humanist Association. We were founded in 1972 as Humanist Association of Massachusetts and helped seed many of the other great local secular and humanist groups in the state. Any donation of $35 or more constitutes membership, but we welcome any amount. For an address to send checks, please contact us here on Meetup or Facebook.
