About this Group
Based in Billings,
Montana, the Billings Association of Humanists
formed in 2003 as an affiliated group of the Billings
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. It is a Charter Chapter of the American Humanist
Association.
The purpose of the
Billings Association of Humanists is a to promote
Humanism; an ethical, democratic, naturalistic lifestance that:
challenges irrationality, promotes critical thinking and the separation
of church and state. We present a system of Humanist ethics
that is a rational alternative to those based in religion and encourage
fellowship among thoughtful people in our community.
Would you like to
have a rational discussion of serious topics with thoughtful people and
share perspectives?
Everyone is welcome at our provocative discussions. Watch this space
for updates on specific locations.
Some meetings follow
the “Socrates
Café”
model where participants choose a question and explore it by asking
further questions.
