Welcome
The Humanist Society of Redding emphasizes
ethical and responsible behavior. Our group is committed to advocating a
naturalistic approach to our daily lives. We strive through our programs
and projects to make the world a better place, with justice and equal
rights for all.
As humanists, we believe all supernatural
beliefs to be irrelevant and instead prefer to be guided by reason,
informed personal experience and compassion for all life forms on the
planet.

Upcoming Meetings
Our
meetings are held selected Sundays at the Redding Library. Regular meetings run 60-90 minutes; films may run longer. Coffee
and light refreshments are served.
On Sunday, August 1 at 2:00 p.m. we
will watch the film "Dirt, the Movie" at the Redding Library in
Community Room "B."
Dirt is the outer layer of the Earth and the place
where nearly all the world's vegetation comes to life, but the 20th
Century was a bad time for dirt -- the rise of corporate farming
practices have led to reliance of fertilizers with negative long-term
effects on the soil, while clear-cutting of rainforests and global
warming are making it harder to grow the food the world needs, making
workable soil an increasingly scarce commodity. Filmmakers Bill
Benenson and Gene Rosow offer a witty but incisive look at dirt,
what's in it, how it's used and how we must protect it in this
documentary film.
