Frequently Asked Questions

Why was Cork Humanists set up?

Cork Humanists was set up to provide a member-run organization that provides social, educational and outreach services to the non-religious community of Cork. Traditionally the Church has provided these services; we endeavor to provide these services, minus the dogma and mysticism. We are freethinkers seeking fellowship: a sense of connection, shared goals and meaningful friendships.


What is the Cork Humanists?

The Cork Humanists is an organisation which is dedicated to supporting the needs of the non-religious of Cork. We aim to provide a space for  freethinkers of all ages to meet and to run events and projects they are interested in. If you have ideas on what you would like to see the Cork Humanists run, then you can make your suggests by contacting us.


Who can attend the Cork Humanists?

The Cork Humanists welcomes everyone - young old, student and/or parent who are non-religious, atheist, agnostic, skeptic, Humanist, freethinker, non-theist, rationalist, doubters and those questioning their religion. The Cork Humaninsts aims to be a family friendly organisation and parents are welcome to attend with their children.


What does it cost?
To cover the cost of the room booking and refreshments, a €3 donation is suggested but by no means compulsory. We all have different financial situations after all.


What do you do?
At the moment, our events mostly centre around our monthly meetings but we hope to offer a more varied experience of Humanist orientated events in the new year. Some ideas that we are banging around at the moment are Think and Drinks, movie nights and charity work. 


Where do you meet?
Our current meeting venue, alongside details about what is happening at it, can be found here.


What is Humanism anyway?
The British Humanist Association launched a website recently that we think is top notch and offers a "Simple Guide to Humanism". For a great overview of Humanism you could start here. For a more in-depth look at Humanism a good starting point is the International and Ethical Union's Amsterdam Declaration 2002. In time we will also be adding suggestions for books to the 'Culture Corner' of our website, which will examine the philosophy and history of Humanism.
