About Us
The Humanist Society of Redding strives to
help people bring out the best in themselves so that all can obtain
fulfillment in life.
We
believe the guide to truth is free and rational inquiry with a
scientific approach, and that the problems of the world can be solved by
humans using logic and reason. It is our moral imperative to teach that
spirituality is a personal quality of being aware, connected, and
committed to a life of well being for others as well as ourselves.
We also accept the scientific evidence that all
life emerged and developed to its present state through the process of
unguided evolution and recognize nature as the ultimate reality. We
affirm our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives and work for
the common good of humanity, rather than hoping for an unproven reward
after death or an existence beyond the one we are presently
experiencing. Therefore, we cherish this life and feel its greatest
fulfillment is derived from adhering to the highest of human ideals.
We concern ourselves with working for world peace, justice, for the
environment, and for the good of all living creatures. We speak out
against bigotry, cruelty, and intolerance.
We offer educational Humanist programs to members, children, and the
public at large.
We affirm humans are part of the same evolutionary process as all living
organisms.
We strive to deal with all issues in a positive manner.
