Mission Statement of the Humanists of Utah

January 1992

  1. We affirm our association with the American Humanists Association, the North American and International Humanist movement, and support their goals and policies.
  2. We accept the Humanist Manifestos I & II as the basic philosophy of the humanist movement, not as a credo or dogma, but as an expression of a living and growing body of knowledge.
  3. It is our goal to identify all Utahns who accept the humanist philosophy and to gather them into an association of humanists where all can have a sense of belonging to a larger community and find friendships and support.
  4. We recognize that humanism is a satisfying and positive philosophy of life which meets the challenges of our times, and we declare our intention to spread the knowledge of humanism throughout the State of Utah.
  5. It is our goal to learn as much as we can about humanism and its application to our lives. We will educate and inform our membership about the philosophy of humanism, social issues of current interest, and the activities of the chapter.
