The Black Humanist Project is a group that fully includes and recognizes Black atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers in the secular humanist community. All races and ethnicities are welcome to join and belong. If our purpose speaks to you, you have a place here. We center the experiences of Black nonreligious people, who are often left out of secular spaces and underrepresented in secular groups. We ensure that the public recognizes the past and present contributions of Black freethinkers to the secular humanist movement. We reject tokenizing individual Black people. We challenge stereotypes about Black people and Black nonreligious people in particular.

This is a place to find others who share your outlook, perspectives, lived experience, speak openly about life without religion, and build lasting connections. The Black Humanist Project is not affiliated with any other atheist, humanist, or secular group. We meet for discussion, socials, and guest talks. Our focus is reason, science, empathy, and human flourishing. We think a meaningful life can rest on evidence and care for one another rather than doctrine or dogma.

# How has the Black Church been such a problem for Black communities?

- ​Has hijacked the image of the Black community – historically and currently
- Ignores how Blacks became predominantly Christian in the United States
- Reinforces White Supremacy, and dependence on a “savior”.
- Discourages critical thought and questions about said religions, especially contradictions.
- Perpetuates misogynoir and hypocrisy.
- Conditions people to fear, and from seeking help and clinical solutions that are needed!
