Atheist organizations that should be labeled atheist humanist

Posted on by Atheists We Are

There are a number of organizations that are often mislabeled “atheist” organizations. When looking closer at these organizations, many of them are affiliated with promoting a doctrine known as humanism, therefore a more correct label for them would be “atheist humanist” organizations.

Why does this matter? This matters because not all atheists identify as humanists. Humanism is a doctrine that people must read about to apply it to themselves. It is important that individuals are aware when an organization is connected to a doctrine such as humanism, and that the general public is aware that the organizations are actually promoting atheist humanist ideology.

Here are “atheist humanist” organizations that often promote themselves as atheist organizations.

  • American Atheists

American Atheists’ Wikipedia page lists the organization’s purpose as, “Promote atheism and secular humanism; oppose religion in the public sphere.”

  • Secular Student Alliance

Secular Student Alliance’s Wikipedia page states, “The Secular Student Alliance (SSA) is a US-American educational nonprofit organization whose purpose is to educate high school and college students about the value of scientific reason and the intellectual basis of secularism in its atheistic and humanistic manifestations.”

  • Atheist Alliance International

On Atheist Alliance International’s Wikipedia page, it is noted that, “AAI continues to assist the Kasese School in Western Uganda. This is a humanist school that provides secular education in a remote area of the country.”

In this blog titled, “This Ugandan School Dares To Offer Humanist, Evidence-Based Curriculum – Here’s How You Can Help,” humanism is blatantly promoted.

  • International Association of Atheists

In a blog published by International Association of Atheists, a statement noted, “In just one week, you have given us over $5000 and 105 proud members of this global humanist organization.”

There are other organizations that are often labeled “atheist” and are connected to humanism, such as Secular Coalition for America and Freedom From Religion Foundation. Atheists We Are ultimately does not view those organizations as “atheist” organizations, but rather separation of church and state organizations, therefore we do not include them in organizations that apply to our audience.
