Humanism is a dynamic and religion-free philosophy that affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical and meaningful lives, aspiring to the greater good of humanity. It is guided by reason and scientific inquiry, inspired by music and art, and motivated by ethics and compassion. The Humanist Association of Canada is a not-for-profit charitable organization that promotes Humanism and secularism by way of educational initiatives that advance critical-thinking and Humanist culture, fostering socializing and outreach opportunities for non-believers, and advocating for equality and fairness for all Canadians.
