The Mid-West Humanists are a group of Humanists, Atheists, Skeptics and Freethinkers living in Limerick, Clare and Tipperary.

We meet on the third Tuesday of each month @ 8pm in The Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel, Castletroy, Limerick

If you’re a Humanist, Atheist, Agnostic, or Skeptic living in the Mid-west (or willing to travel) and are interested in meeting like-minded people please come along to our next meeting or email us if you would like more information.

Humanism is an ethical philosophy of life, based on a concern for humanity, which combines reason with compassion. It is for people who base their interpretation of existence on the evidence of the natural world and its evolution, and not on belief in a supernatural power. This is why it is called a naturalistic life-stance. 

Humanism is an active philosophy in its own right and not simply a negative response to religion.  It has existed for over 2,500 years and which still flourishes today.

A Humanist believes that the happiness of humankind depend on people rather than on religion and dogma. Morality is the recognition that good rules for behaviour have evolved from human experience. 

They are not the prerogative of religion. Humanist values give us rights, freedom and dignity, but they also give us responsibility for our own lives, for helping others and to achieve a better world.
