Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island

Ethical Culture, also called Ethical Humanism, is a progressive philosophy of life that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.  In Ethical Culture, the ultimate questions are not about the existence of gods or an afterlife, but rather, “How can we create meaningfulness in this life?” and “How should we treat each other in order to create a humane and just world?”

Our Society gathers every Sunday morning for music, poetry, reflection and an informative presentation about contemporary ethical issues. We may hear about such diverse topics as democracy, health, education, law, the environment, community service, the arts, or personal development.  Our invited speakers, experts in their fields, often inspire us to take action to make the world a better place for all.
