Required Weekly Observance No required weekly observances, but many Humanists find fulfillment in congregating with other Humanists on a weekly basis (especially those who characterize themselves as Religious Humanists) or other regular basis for social and intellectual engagement, discussions, book talks, lectures, and similar activities. Required Occasional Observances No required occasional observances, but some Humanists (especially those who characterize themselves as Religious Humanists) celebrate life-cycle events with baby naming, coming of age, and marriage ceremonies as well as memorial services. Even though there are no required observances, there are several days throughout the calendar year that many Humanists consider holidays. They include (but are not limited to) the following: February 12. Darwin Day: This marks the birthday of Charles Darwin, whose research and findings in the field of biology, particularly his theory of evolution by natural selection, represent a breakthrough in human knowledge that Humanists celebrate. First Thursday in May. National Day of Reason: This day acknowledges the importance of reason, as opposed to blind faith, as the best method for determining valid conclusions. June 21 - Summer Solstice. This day is also known as World Humanist Day and is a celebration of the longest day of the year.

PERRY, et al., ) ) Defendants. ) PLAINTIFFS’ MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Case 5:15-ct-03053-BO Document 69 Filed 07/28/17 Page 1 of 33 I. Nature of the Case and Statement of Facts1 Plaintiffs, the American Humanist Association (“AHA”) and Kwame Teague, challenge the North Carolina Department of Public Safety’s (“NCDPS”) disparate treatment of Humanists, and specifically, its refusal to allow Humanists to meet in groups to study and discuss their shared convictions while authorizing such group meetings for other faith groups of equal or smaller size, as violative of the Establishment and Equal Protection Clauses. NCDPS maintains a list of approved faith groups (“Faith Groups”) and provides them with time, space, and other resources. (A.64-70, 77-81, 1268). Only recognized Faith Groups are authorized to meet in groups for study and worship. (A.69, 1268). NCDPS tracks religious preferences in OPUS but only for approved Faith Groups. (A.3-35, 1292). NCDPS has approved several new Faith Groups since 2010, including one with only three inmates. (A.4, 183, 903, 1260). NCDPS concedes that approving Humanism would impose no threat to the security, control, operation and safety of a correctional institution. (A.925). Indeed, the federal government treats Humanism as a religious group.2 The Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) approved Humanism as a faith group and allots the group two time-slots each week for “worship” and for “study.” (A.825-29, 833-39, 1075-76, 1081).

  • Humanism and Christianity: Shared Values?
    Shipton et al.: Humanism and Christianity: Shared Values? WARREN SHIPTON, YOUSSRY GUIRGUIS, AND NOLA TUDU Humanism and Christianity: Shared Values? Introduction The word humanism is derived from the Latin humanitas that originally meant the study of human nature. The idea was to elevate humanity with a focus on human dignity and potential through education (Ritchie and Spencer 2014:15, 16). The meaning attributed to the word humanism, in its broadest sense, allowed Christians and non-believers initially to oc- cupy common territory (64-78). In the early-middle Christian era, some thinkers sought to acquaint themselves with the achievements, literature, and thought of past civilizations, particularly Greek, with a view to rec- onciling theology with the philosophy of the classical philosophers (New World Encyclopedia n.d.; Odom 1977:126-128, 183-186). Outside Christian circles, elements supportive of the pre-eminence of human thought and abilities have long been seen among philosophers; however, not all forms of humanism were atheistic, as seen in Confucian thought (Gupta 2000:8- 12). There also are those who have been called “religious” or “spiritual” humanists (Eller 2010:10). The Medieval civilization that followed the collapse of the Roman Em- pire (AD 476) was marked by the rule of kings with nobles supporting the king in return for privileges. The majority of the population existed in serfdom; the Church reigned supreme. A change came in the 14th century helped by the fact that famine and disease created disaster. The abuses in the Church and the pessimism prevalent in society created a climate for change in Europe.

  • Becoming a Celebrant with Humanist Ceremonies™
    Becoming a celebrant with Humanist Ceremonies™ Background Humanists UK is the UK’s principal charity representing people who hold no religious belief. For over a century, Humanists UK has provided ceremonies for people who are not religious but who wish to mark significant events in their lives. Humanist Ceremonies is Humanists UK’s organised network of trained and accredited celebrants in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. (The Humanist Society of Scotland is the equivalent organisation in Scotland.) Over time the number of people offering non-religious ceremonies has grown, in response to demand. More people recognise that religion is not for them and feel uncomfortable, even hypocritical having a religious ceremony. They recognise that life without religion does not mean a life without morality. They want a ceremony that is distinctive, personal and significant, specifically devised for them. Many individuals and organisations now offer non-religious ceremonies. However, a humanist ceremony is more than just an event with no religion. A humanist ceremony will reflect humanist principles, namely the value we place on humanity and reason, on our rights and responsibilities, on our individuality, on our personal histories and on our connections with others. In short, Humanist Ceremonies celebrate human lives in all their particularity and variety. ​ Ceremonies Celebrants in the Humanist Ceremonies network can train to lead funerals, weddings or partnerships, and namings. Most Humanist Ceremonies celebrants are trained and accredited to do funerals. Our humanist funerals are the ceremonies most in demand as our reputation for highly personalised and meaningful ceremonies grows. However, requests for humanist weddings, partnerships and naming ceremonies are 1 rising.
