hu•man•ism (hyoo’ma niz ̉m) n.  1. the quality of being human; human nature  2. any system of thought or action based on the nature, dignity, interests, and ideals of humankind; specif., a modern, nontheistic, rationalist movement that holds that human beings are capable of self-fulfillment, ethical conduct, etc. without recourse to supernaturalism


We're Humanists. We say people are what matter most!

The Humanist Fellowship of San Diego is a proud chapter of the American Humanist Association, the original and largest of the nationwide Humanist organizations, founded in 1941, and represented in San Diego by a succession of chapters since September 1954.

Since 1982, the Humanist Fellowship of San Diego has been a presence of organized American Humanism in this community, representing Humanism as it is now expressed in Humanist Manifesto III.  It is a non-profit educational organization, and holds an IRS 501(c)(3) tax exemption.

The most recent Humanist Manifesto (2003), "Humanism and Its Aspirations", is posted on this site. Do you agree with what it says? Read it and see!  Is Humanism religious? Anti-religious? Secular? None of the above?

Humanism has no creed. It is not a set of conclusions or a destination. Humanism is a pathway, a method for human beings to discover values through experience. Consequently, Humanists often disagree with each other about the results of inquiry - but they enjoy confidence in you and your humanness - not condemning you as "born in sin" and needing "salvation", but confident that your free mind, compassionate heart, and a shared love of goodness, truth and beauty, will lead you to a full, honest, satisfying life on the path alongside others - the Humanists.
