Humanist Manifesto

Humanist Manifesto is the title of three manifestos laying out a humanist worldview published by the American Humanist Association (AHA). They are the original Humanist Manifesto (1933, often referred to as Humanist Manifesto I), the Humanist Manifesto II (1973), and Humanism and Its Aspirations (2003, aka Humanist Manifesto III). The manifesto originally arose from religious humanism, though secular humanists also signed.

The central theme of all three is the elaboration of a philosophy and value system which does not include belief in a personal God or any higher power, although the three differ considerably in their tone, form, and ambition. Each has been signed at its launch by various prominent academics and others who are in general agreement with its principles.
