Humanists of Greater Portland (HGP) is a chapter

of the American Humanist Association (AHA).

 

We are a secular group for those who seek improvement in this life by

  • applying reason, science, and free inquiry to solving human problems

  • advocating freedom, happiness, and progress for all humanity

  • using the democratic process to seek justice and fairness in all societies

  • supporting moral principles that have been validated by consequences

  • accepting kinship with the natural world

  • holding humans responsible for human destiny

  • seeking natural rather than supernatural explanations

 

HGP is a friendly organization where people who share these values can learn, explore, help, and play together.
