About us
Meet other local Humanists, people who believe in the basic goodness of the human spirit without supernaturalism.
The Washington Area Secular Humanists (WASH) was incorporated in 1989 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational organization in Maryland. Our purpose is to promote scientific literacy and critical thinking, to provide a forum for humanists and others to explore humanist principles and how they relate to all aspects of human experience, and to study the significance of humanism throughout history. Secular humanists are distinguished by an emphasis on scientific methods of knowing, separation of church and state, and a commitment to the pursuit of humanist goals outside religious frameworks.
WASH has several active Chapters from Roanoke, VA to Baltimore, MD.
WASH is an independently incorporated non-profit organization and also a chapter of the American Humanist Association and an affiliate of American Atheists.

A Humanist Christmas – Conversation with Author Gary Zacny
·OnlineOnlineJoin Washington Area Secular Humanists (WASH) for an online conversation with author Gary Zacny and his book A Humanist Christmas.
A Humanist Christmas is a collection of reflective, warm, and often humorous stories originally written as personal Christmas letters. Through these stories, readers glimpse the life and imagination of a modern Renaissance man—world traveler, artist, community leader, technologist, and grandfather—whose work reminds us that the spirit of the season can be found in kindness, reflection, and shared humanity rather than religion.
In this Google Meet event, Gary will read a short excerpt from the book and then join us for an open Q&A and discussion on humanism, storytelling, and secular approaches to tradition.
All are welcome, and no prior familiarity with the book is required.📍 Join via Google Meet:
