Welcome to Reading Humanists
Humanists are people who shape their own lives in the here and now because we believe it’s the only life we have. We treat others with compassion, warmth, understanding and respect. We understand the amazing world we live in through reason and science. We recognise the moral responsibility to protect the environment and to make the world a better place for the sake of current and future generations.
Reading Humanists welcome all who share these views, and those who are curious about humanism. Find out how humanist you are with the Humanist UK Quiz.
We have a lively programme of events including talks by external speakers, courses, discussions on topical issues, a book group, and other social activities. We are also active in the community promoting humanism in schools and at public events. All our events are open to both members and non-members. Come along and meet us, we’re a friendly and engaging bunch.
Please consider supporting Reading Humanists by joining us or donating, helping us to provide a stronger voice for the non-religious in Reading.
