HumanLight

HumanLight is a Humanist winter holiday for secular people to celebrate instead of or in addition to the religious holidays celebrated around the same time. HumanLight celebrates Reason, Compassion, Hope, and Humanity. Humanlight is on December 23rd. HumanLight is a secular holiday, celebrated around the U.S., and the world, since 2001, started in New Jersey by the New Jersey Humanist Network (njhn.org). Late December is a season of good cheer and a time for festive gatherings of friends and families. During this holiday season, there are many celebrations. The HumanLight holiday presents an alternative reason to celebrate! HumanLight illuminates Humanism's positive, secular vision. It celebrates and expresses humanist ideals and values, and a positive vision of a better future for all. It's a future in which all people can identify with each other and try to behave with high moral standards; a future which people can build by working together for a happy, just and peaceful world, drawing on our best human capacities, and without relying on supernatural religious beliefs. HumanLight celebrates and expresses positive, secular values: Reason, Compassion, Hope and Humanity.
