The Secular Humanists Society of Tinley Park

To answer your first question...

Secular Humanism is a positive worldview for non-theists that celebrates our exuberance for life and supports everyone's right of free inquiry. It affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. Please read the affirmations of Secular Humanism (as good as the Beatitudes--only better) to see why this positive, reality-based philosophy--born of science and reason--is so right for the world today, why it may be right for you and why you may already be a Secular Humanist.

What We Do

The members of this group will engage in community outreach on a variety of levels to promote continuing science education, ensure that the secular voice is heard and respected in all matters important to humanity and the environment, join in fellowship and work with other community organizations--religious and non-religious--to serve our local community and whenever possible the global community in general.

• We support the separation of church and state
• We salute the scientific method of inquiry as the truest path to knowledge
• We believe mankind is in desperate need of a committment to a common mission statement that sets goals for ensuring our survival and attaining a peaceful coexistence.

The CFI will not retain any operating costs — 100 percent of S.H.A.R.E.’s Haiti relief donations will go to Doctors Without Borders, which lost all three of their Port-Au-Prince hospitals in the quake.
