We aspire to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment and contribute to the greater good of humanity and the planet through reason, science, compassion and creativity.
GIVE TO THE MAX TO HUMANISTS OF MINNESOTA
We are participating in Give to the Max, Minnesota's annual online "give-together."
We believe support for humanist values is at a tipping point, with a growing number of Americans saying they do not identify with any religion. Many could be budding humanists. We'd like to expand our budget for outreach efforts, for example Facebook ads and promotional materials. The more members we have, the more power we will have to fight for a secular society based on reason, science, compassion, and creativity.
The official giving day is Thursday, Nov. 15. But why procrastinate? Please help us promote humanist values by donating HERE.

How are you feeling now that the midterm elections are almost over. As I write this at the end of October, I don’t know if I’ll be cheering or grieving the morning after. However, no clairvoyance is needed to predict that the country will be awash in emotional outbursts of one sort or another. For some, it will be a great day, for others not so much.

The “nones.” You’d never know there were so many of us because, as a recently designated demographic cohort, we go by many different names and identities – humanist, atheist, agnostic, the “unaffiliated,” skeptic, freethinker, lapsed (insert former religious identity), “spiritual but not religious,” or nothing at all. Hence, our political leaders don’t pay attention to us. It’s time we change that!

It’s early August and I’m feeling wistful. I just turned another year older and I’m already anticipating the end of summer. While I’m reticent to acknowledge another birthday, I remind myself of the alternative of not chalking up one more year.
