::Who We Are
The UNM Humanist Society is the only chartered student organization on campus that works directly to promote the rights and interests of people who do not identify with the dogmas of mainstream and organized religion. Our members include deists, agnostics, atheists, freethinkers, "brights" and people with a non-conventional or non-religious outlook. Many of our members hold a naturalistic worldview and believe that empirical science, combined with sound logical reasoning, is the best approach to solving problems in life
::Purpose
Humanism is a way of life based on the application of scientific skepticism and free inquiry, rather than religion, to the resolution of human problems. It is inspired by natural beauty and human artistic expression. It is guided by the ethical rights, justice under law, and environmental responsibility. Humanism recognizes that our values come from our human nature, our various cultures, and our personal experiences, rather than divine revelation.
