Central Colorado Humanists

A nonprofit organization

Central Colorado Humanists is an organization of people from Chaffee County and the surrounding area who believe in the dignity of human beings and their corresponding responsibility to live in accordance with the goals of Humanism.

We are primarily non-theist, in that we follow a philosophy free of supernaturalism, and believe that human goals and values are best developed within the context of individual and community needs.

Giving Activity

Mission

Central Colorado Humanists, a chapter of the American Humanist Association, exists to promote Humanism, a rational philosophy informed by science, guided by reason, inspired by nature and art, and motivated by compassion.

We affirm the dignity of each human being and support the maximization of individual liberty and opportunity consonant with social and planetary responsibility. We advocate the extension of participatory democracy and the expansion of the open society, standing for human rights and social justice.

Free of supernaturalism, Humanism recognizes human beings as a part of nature, and holds that values – be they religious, ethical, social, or political – have their source in human experience and culture. Humanism thus derives the goals of life from human need and interest rather than from theological or ideological abstractions, and asserts that humanity must take responsibility for its own destiny.
