An-Nas is an ethics-based community for humanists from Muslim backgrounds dedicated to providing opportunities for personal growth, promoting social justice, and contributing to an inclusive, multicultural humanism through engagement with the arts, sciences, and humanities in intersectional spaces.
At An-Nas, we affirm that humans can be good without god and lead ethical lives, outside of institutionalized religion, based on life-affirming ideals including compassion, tolerance, justice, friendship, creativity, responsibility, and joy. We are interested in building alternatives to faith-based communities and providing safe spaces in which nontheistic humanists can flourish together and develop their human potential.
