we are humanists!
Humanist worldview. Humanist values. Humanist community.
The Humanist Fellowship, a proud chapter of the American Humanist Association, joins with national and international humanist organizations to bring about a progressive society where being good without gods is an accepted way to live life. We are accomplishing this through our outreach to the growing number of people without traditional religious faith, and through a continued advancement of the humanist worldview.
Humanism encompasses a variety of nontheistic views (atheism, agnosticism, rationalism, naturalism, secularism, and so forth) while adding the important element of a comprehensive worldview and set of ethical values — values that are grounded in the philosophy of the Enlightenment, informed by scientific knowledge, and driven by a desire to meet the needs of people in the here and now.
We count humanists and other nontheists as the core of our community but are always willing to work with friends and allies on issues of common concern. The positions we hold and the actions we take are not simply for our own benefit, but for the betterment of all of society and the world in which we live.
The Humanist Fellowship of San Diego is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization. Our board of directors and other event planners are all volunteers committed to the mission of HFSD.
What We Do

Community Involvement — As a founding member organization of the San Diego Coalition of Reason we partner with other secular groups in the San Diego community.
