“We are lucky and thankful to live in an open society, where everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression as well as the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. However, in many countries, people still put themselves and their families at risk when they openly criticize prevailing religious dogmas. We want to help protect those individuals who fear for their life, their liberty, and their security of person when exercising their fundamental human rights.” Bob Reuter, President of AHA Luxembourg

About Association of Black Humanists
Association of Black Humanists was established in 2012 to provide a hub by which we can have discussions and meet and contact like-minded people. As some of us are Atheists, freethinkers or Humanists already, others maybe coming to the conclusion that god and religion are having detrimental effects on our communities, but are understandably fearful of ostracism, ridicule or even threats to personal safety if they air their questions or opinions. Our main site is on www.meetup.com where you can find our discussion forum and details of all upcoming events.
Association of Black Humanists is open to everyone and anyone and is a Democratic Forum where rational and controversial debate can be had. But saying this, Racist, Homophobic. Anti-Semitic, xenophobic, misogynistic or any nonconstructive comments or opinions will not be tolerated except within the context of a topic or Debate.
It is also an important opportunity for anyone from the Black and BME Communities to provide links to and from this Facebook page for other Secular, Humanist and Atheist groups in London and the rest of the UK or use the links to find out about or join those various organisations.

Um Siðmennt
Siðmennt er félag siðrænna húmanista á Íslandi. Félagið er veraldlegt lífsskoðunarfélag og hefur að viðfangsefni þau viðhorf og lífsgildi sem eru persónulega mikilvæg og náin hverjum einstaklingi í leit að tilgangi og hamingju í lífinu. Siðrænir húmanistar leggja áherslu á að rækta siðræn gildi og þekkingarleit án vísana í yfirnáttúrleg fyrirbrigði. Siðmennt lítur svo á að sannfæringarfrelsi, trúfrelsi og tjáningarfrelsi teljist til almennra lýðréttinda. Þau skuli ná til allra og þau megi hvorki afnema né skerða undir neinum kringumstæðum.
Félagið var stofnað árið 1990 í kringum borgaralega fermingu en þróaðist fljótt í að vera fullgilt húmanískt félag með aðild að alþjóðasamtökum húmanista (e. Humanist International, HI). Hugtakið lífsskoðunarfélag (life stance organization) nær á alþjóðavísu yfir félög af bæði trúarlegri og veraldlegri sannfæringu og gerir ekki upp á milli þeirra. Siðferðismál, þekkingarfræði og fjölskyldan eru kjarni þeirra viðfangsefna sem Siðmennt sinnir. Félagið býður nú upp á athafnarþjónustu fyrir helstu tímamót lífsins; fæðingu, fermingu, hjónaband og lífslok.

About Siðmennt
Siðmennt is an association of ethical humanists in Iceland. The society is a secular life-view society and its subject is the attitudes and values of life that are personally important and close to every person in search of purpose and happiness in life. Ethical humanists emphasize cultivating moral values and the search for knowledge without reference to supernatural phenomena. Civilization considers freedom of belief, freedom of religion and freedom of expression to be considered general democratic rights. They shall apply to everyone and they may not be abolished or reduced under any circumstances.
The association was founded in 1990 around civil confirmation, but quickly developed into a full-fledged humanist association with membership in Humanist International (HI). The term life stance organization internationally encompasses organizations of both religious and secular persuasion and does not distinguish between them. Moral issues, epistemology and the family are the core of the topics that Siðmennt deals with. The company now offers activity services for major milestones in life; birth, confirmation, marriage and end of life.

“The Humanist Association of Ireland is happy to support Humanists International in the difficult work that they do to support Humanists at risk around the world.
