American Humanist Association

The American Humanist Association (AHA) is a nonprofit organization that advocates for humanism—a worldview that emphasizes human values, reason, and ethics without reliance on religious beliefs. Founded in 1941, the AHA promotes individual rights, social justice, and the importance of science and critical thinking. It also seeks to create a more humane society by addressing issues such as separation of church and state, equality, and environmental concerns. Through education, advocacy, and community, the AHA aims to encourage people to live meaningful lives based on human experiences and shared values rather than religious doctrine.
