Welcome to West Sussex Humanists
Humanism is the view that we can make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values, and live good lives without religious or superstitious beliefs.
We represent the interests of the non-religious residents of West Sussex in local government, support Human Rights, and work towards equality and social cohesion.
West Sussex Humanists is also an umbrella organisation of local affiliated groups that meet regularly, currently Horsham Humanists and Chichester Humanists.
