South East London Humanist Group

Humanism in South East London

South East London Humanist Group is a local group for atheists, agnostics, humanists, secularists, rationalists, skeptics, freethinkers and like-minded people to meet and exchange ideas. We discuss social, political, religious, philosophical, scientific, artistic and other issues, and often invite speakers who are experts in their fields. We also arrange occasional social events and group outings to places of interest.

South East London Humanist Group is affiliated to the British Humanist Association and the National Secular Society.

We hold monthly meetings on the third Thursday of every month. More details, time and location can be found on the left hand column of this page.

If you feel that:

You do not need a God to give your life purpose
Belief should be based on evidence
Morality should come from humanity not authority

..then perhaps you should come along to one of our meetings and try us out.

You should meet other like minded people, enjoy the discussion, and perhaps continue chatting to other members in the bar downstairs afterwards.

Once you become a member, you have access to a wide non religious library of books contributed by members to the group.

We look forward to seeing you!
