Northwest Phoenix Humanists (NWPH) is a group of freethinkers affiliated with the American Humanist Association. Membership in our group is free.
The reasons for starting this local group are:
- To promote progressive society in the Northwest Valley where being good without a god is an accepted and respected way to live life in Arizona, in collaboration with American Humanist Association (AHA) and Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association (UUHA). We strive to maintain an inclusive community of like-minded individuals from all walks of life and age groups
- To fill the gap in the North and West sides of Greater Phoenix, Arizona area of formalized Humanist groups and educational events
Our Beliefs
Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good. Click here for more information.
If you're a freethinker, secular Unitarian Universalist, Humanist, or Religious Naturalist and "good without God", this group is for you.
Our Events
Our events are posted in our Meetup group.
Our Partners
Many groups in the Greater Phoenix area are like-minded, and you will see many events cross-posted on different Meetup Groups and calendars. These are all great organizations!
- PAMG provides mainly social events across the valley and has a large membership. PAMG members formed NWPH.
- UU of Surprise generously allows us to use their meeting space and has many atheists and humanists in their congregation. Humanists and atheists are actually an official part of the "theology" of Unitarian Universalism. In fact, Unitarian Universalists played a major role in establishing Humanism in the United States.
- Secular AZ is nonpartisan, nonprofit advocacy organization that protects the constitutional separation of church and state and educates lawmakers and the public to ensure freedom of conscience for Arizonans of all faiths and of none.
- Freedom From Religion Foundation's purpose is to support, inform the public about, promote, and defend non-theism, and to defend the Constitutional separation between religion and government.
- Humanist Society of Greater Phoenix (HSGP) is a Humanist group with a meeting facility in Mesa, Arizona.
