Sheffield Humanist Society
About Us

About Us


Humanists care about social and moral issues from a non-religious (atheist, agnostic) perspective. We reject the supernatural, believing that humanity must find its own solutions to the problems of life.

Sheffield Humanist Society was founded in 1993, resuscitating a tradition of freethinking in the area, and has since become one of the largest and most active humanist groups in the country.
