Our Meetups are a safe space for engaging in discussion. With us, you can voice your opinion, and have your views heard and respected. You can feel free to challenge the ideas that are put forward, and engage in robust discussion about them. We ask you to treat each other with mutual respect and consideration. While debating the ideas, there is no place here for criticism of people. We speak respectfully to each other, even when we disagree.
Humanists Australia welcomes all humanists, and others who are interested in learning about humanism and discussing topics related to humanism, to this Meetup.
Those who come to our Meetups are asked to adhere to the Humanists Australia Code of Conduct. We do not allow harassment of any kind, or promotion of any goods, services or groups unrelated to humanism (except by prior permission of the organisers).

Discussion: A Secular Humanist Declaration
·OnlineOnline17 attendees from 2 groupsWhat does it mean to live well and to build a fair society without appeal to the supernatural? Join us for a series of lively conversations exploring 'A Secular Humanist Declaration', the landmark 1980 statement that set out a bold vision grounded in reason, free inquiry and human dignity. Across these sessions we'll work through its principles one by one—freedom of the individual, church/state separation, ethics built on empathy and reason, the value of science and skepticism and the case for moral education and human rights—and ask how well they hold up in our own troubled times. Whether you're a committed humanist, a curious skeptic or simply someone who enjoys engaging with others, there's plenty here to challenge, sharpen and inspire your thinking. Grab a drink, bring your questions and join the discussion.
We endeavour to run the sessions fortnightly. For our first session, we will set the context for the writing of ‘A Secular Humanist Declaration’ and will walk through and discuss the first section titled ‘Introduction’. You can access the text of ‘A Secular Humanist Declaration’ at https://secularhumanism.org/a-secular-humanist-declaration/
