Humanism is a rational philosophy informed by science, inspired by art, and motivated by compassion.
Affirming the dignity of each human being, it supports the maximization of individual liberty and opportunity consonant with social and planetary responsibility.
It advocates the extension of participatory democracy and the expansion of the open society, standing for human rights and social justice.
Free of supernaturalism, it 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.

HSGP is an educational and philosophical organization.
Our main goal is to educate the general public about the ethics and values of Humanism
by being a positive influence in the community. We do this through our meetings and lectures (free to the public);
community service, such as our support of HomeBase Youth Services and the work they do for homeless youth; networking with students at
campuses throughout Maricopa County to encourage debates and humanistic activities, and continuing our efforts through
letter-writing, dialogue and other educational means to maintain the Jeffersonian "wall of separation" between church and state.
OUR MEMBERSHIP is drawn from a cross section of the Greater Phoenix area. Members range in age from early 20s to 80+,
with backgrounds from many professions and walks of life. The only requirement for membership is interest in the principles
of Humanism. Participation can be limited to simply attending meetings, or becoming actively involved in projects.
ACTIVITIES throughout the year include networking and socializing with other Humanist groups; reading and discussing
Humanistically-themed books; observing celebrations such as Darwin Day and HumanLight, and viewing Humanist movies and plays.
