Oxford Humanists brings non-religious people together to be happier and more fulfilled and to be a force for good in our community.
Humanists are people who shape their own lives in the here and now, because we believe it’s the only life we have. We make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.
