NJHN is a growing and vibrant community of secular Humanists in Central New Jersey who believe that virtues like morality, kindness, justice and generosity derive from natural human values and reason, and are realized fully only when free from belief in supernatural powers and a spiritual afterlife. Humanism is a democratic and ethical life-stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. Join other like-minded friends for …

… Those who can't respect others rights to their own spirituality, atheism, agnosticism, Unitarianism, humanism, and any other ism, will be asked to put a lid on it, 5 times. Then offered a very large peanut butter and jelly sandwich with 8 half table spoons of jam and ten huge smears of speech impeding super thick chunky peanut butter, each applied while counting to 10; and their drink will be hidden from them. OCD related movies will be shown at times, when available and will be chosen as a grou …

… We will search for ways to help our local community and help put a positive face on atheism. Some of these activities will be “Adopt a Highway” clean-ups, food drives, an “Ask An Atheist” booth at Lancaster Central Market, and participation in local festivals.

… We'll do this by discussing some recent writing on atheism, agnosticism, spirituality and belief. And we'll do this by telling our own stories and listening to the stories of others. The goal of our conversation is to provide a safe and interesting place to talk about matters of (dis)belief, and to help us all articulate where we're headed. Another purpose is to increase our sympathies with others whose (non)religious paths differ from our own. The group is designed for anyone curious about arti …

Tour the universe.  Drop in any week.  The universe is a big place, but my class is ongoing, and I am up to the challenge.  It takes 2-3 years for me to do a round trip.  With live links to the Wide World Web as my in-class resource, I have an unlimited supply of mind expanding pictures and movies to discuss.  Plus digital universe simulations that I run of the Earth's place in the galaxy, and the galaxy's place in the universe.  For example, on the tour of the Universe, we started in close, zoo …

We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics.

Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …
