American Humanist Association offers free online membership

[256 colors]

This is almost a secret; the official announcement is not out yet, but the beta testing has begun. The American Humanist Association, the nation's largest and oldest group for nontheists, is creating a new, free, online-only membership opportunity.

Go to the AHA site: American Humanist Association

In the orange area of the banner at the top of the page, click "New! FREE Online Membership." Registration is not limited to US citizens. There is an area for "Referred by," you can list me by name, Janice Rael. This will create your registration.

Some of the features for the AHA's free online membership are not yet up and running, but since they are accepting registrations now, jump in!

I'm a regular, dues-paying member of AHA, and I love their magazine, The Humanist.

When I get more details about the benefits of the free online AHA membership, I'll let you know. The official announcement should be out soon.

Humanism as an ethical 'lifestance'? That sounds like something the Brights would come up with.

There's only so many synonyms in the thesaurus, I suppose.

Or a Wiccan. (Or a Senator from Idaho.)

[Ensign Steve]

Don't oppress my lifestance!

[D. Scarlatti]

Can I be skeptical of these skeptic groups?

[Ensign Steve]

No! You must drink the flavor ade!

[Sock Puppet]

It's worth it to join just to swell their ranks and thereby piss off Dobson. Count me in, although given our CEO's priggery I'll have to do it from home.

Sekyoolar Hyoominists are rekin this heer cuntry!!!11!!

I joined up, I've always been immersed in humanism ideas and been curious about AHA for a while so it's a perfect opportunity for me to learn more about it.

Other than their silly dogma ("ethical lifestance" as vm points out) I object to the American Humanists for co-opting a word that once referred to such religious thinkers as Erasmus and Saint Thomas More.
