Welcome to Farnham Humanists
 

We are a friendly group of around 70 Humanists covering North East Hampshire and West Surrey centred on Farnham and Alton.

We also have social events such as rambles, boating trips, pub lunches and visits.

Members of the group provide Humanist ceremonies (funerals, baby namings and weddings) and we support the provision of Humanist chaplains e.g. in prisons and hospitals.

We have regular twice monthly meetings - an informal meeting in a pub the first Wednesday of the month and a discussion group or talk on a Sunday evening half way through the month.

For the past four years we have staged an annual debate covering  faith schools, voluntary euthanasia, can there be a just war and Britain needs nuclear fuel.

 We support human rights and respect the diversity in our community. We campaign for inclusivity of non-religious people and there being no discrimination based on religion or belief  e.g. in education,  government, employment and provision of services.

Who are Humanists?

Humanists are atheists and agnostics who share a non-religious ethical outlook and seek to create a more open, just and caring society.

We believe we can make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values. We take responsibility for our actions and base our ethics on the goals of human welfare, happiness and fulfilment. We seek to make the best of the one life we have by creating meaning and purpose for ourselves, individually and together.
