American Humanist Association

http://www.americanhumanist.org/ : Strategically located in Washington, DC, the AHA actively educates the public about Humanism, brings Humanists together for mutual support and action, defends the civil liberties and constitutional freedoms of Humanists—indeed of all peoples—and leads both local and national Humanist organizations toward progressive societal change. Through a strong network of over 100 grassroots organizations, appearances in national media, an advanced Internet presence, regular public appearances, and a broad spectrum of publications, the AHA is the VOICE OF HUMANISM. Over the years, many women and men who embrace Humanism and who have worked closely with the AHA have contributed greatly toward the betterment of our world. Among them are: Novelists Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, and Alice Walker Environmentalist Lester R. Brown Women’s rights proponents Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem Elder citizens advocate Maggie Kuhn Economist John Kenneth Galbraith Entrepreneur Ted Turner Evolutionary scientist Edward O. Wilson Abortion rights champions Faye Wattleton and Bill Baird Director Oliver Stone Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg. Earlier Humanists included Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov, Andrei Sakharov, Erich Fromm, A. Philip Randolph, Margaret Sanger, Gene Roddenberry, Julian Huxley, Brock Chisholm, John Dewey, Bertrand and Dora Russell, and Albert Einstein. The American Humanist Association has honored these individuals as well as many others to recognize their contributions on behalf of humanity. JOIN this list of prominent Humanists today!

British Humanist Association

http://www.humanism.org.uk/ : The BHA is the largest organisation in the UK supporting and representing the non—religious and campaigning for a secular society. We help humanists and other non—religious people to gain confidence in their beliefs and build a foundation from which to live their lives with integrity, supporting networks for families, teachers and others to share ideas and experience and provide mutual support. We work for an open and inclusive society with freedom of belief and speech, and for an end to the privileged position of religion - and Christianity in particular - in law, education, broadcasting and wherever else it occurs. We campaign for the inclusion of humanism within the school curriculum, for inclusive schools where children with parents of all faiths and none learn to understand and respect each other, instead of being segregated in the growing number of faith and sectarian schools, and for the abolition of school worship. We are also renowned for the provision of humanist funerals, weddings, baby-namings and other non-religious ceremonies which meet a very real need in the community.
