About humanism
Welcome to the website of Humanist Society Scotland (HSS). Welcome to humanism.
See Scottish humanists talking about humanism.
HSS is the Scottish charity working on behalf of non-religious people who seek to live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity.
Ceremonies
Most of us want to celebrate important events in our lives, such as new lives, committed relationships, and, very importantly, lives which have ended.
For those of us with no religious belief it is important that we can mark these occasions with personal ceremonies which celebrate the events.
HSS provides trained and registered celebrants who work to set standards and a code of conduct.
Policy work
We aim to reflect the views of the millions of Scots who want to promote a secular Scotland – a Scotland which is modern, progressive and tolerant.
HSS seeks to influence public policy in Scotland, the UK and internationally.
