What we’re about
Meet other local Humanists, people who believe in the basic goodness of the human spirit without supernaturalism.
The Washington Area Secular Humanists (WASH) was incorporated in 1989 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) educational organization in Maryland. Our purpose is to promote scientific literacy and critical thinking, to provide a forum for humanists and others to explore humanist principles and how they relate to all aspects of human experience, and to study the significance of humanism throughout history. Secular humanists are distinguished by an emphasis on scientific methods of knowing, separation of church and state, and a commitment to the pursuit of humanist goals outside religious frameworks.
WASH has several active Chapters from Roanoke, VA to Baltimore, MD.
WASH is an independently incorporated non-profit organization and also a chapter of the American Humanist Association and an affiliate of American Atheists.

See all- Talk By Dr. Ben on the Anti-Vax MovementLink visible for attendees
You're invited to a compelling talk by Dr. Ben on Sunday, June 15 at 8:00 PM ET. He’ll be speaking about the anti-vaccine movement, exploring its origins, spread, and the social and public health consequences it continues to have today.
This will be a thought-provoking talk for you because as a humanist you are interested in science communication, misinformation, disinformation, and the intersection of beliefs and public health.
