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.
In honor of Darwin Day, on Sunday, February
14 at 2:00 p.m. we'll be showing the film, Creation, the tale of Charles Darwin and the most explosive
idea in history. A world-renowned scientist, and a dedicated family
man struggling to accept his daughter’s death, Darwin is torn between
his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a
world where God has no place. He finds himself caught in a battle
between faith and reason, love and truth. This is the extraordinary
story of Charles Darwin and how his master-work “The Origin of
Species” came to light. The meeting will be held in the Community Room of the Redding Library.
