Our Community

I'm a Humanist Because…

Humanism means something different to each of us — a personal commitment to reason, compassion, and living well. Here are voices from our community.



Humanist Manifesto III

Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

The lifestance of Humanism — guided by reason, inspired by compassion, and informed by experience — encourages us to live life well and fully. It evolved through the ages and continues to develop through the efforts of thoughtful people who recognize that values and ideals, however carefully wrought, are subject to change as our knowledge and understandings advance.

Our National Affiliation

American Humanist Association

Humanists New Mexico is the only chapter of the American Humanist Association in New Mexico. The AHA strives to bring about a progressive society where being good without a god is an accepted and respected way to live life. They accomplish this through the defense of civil liberties and secular governance, by outreach to the growing number of people without traditional religious faith, and through a continued refinement and advancement of the humanist worldview.




"I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without rewards or punishment after I am dead."
