We’re so glad you are here. Michigan Humanists exists to advance a secular community and promote humanist values. We envision an engaged, statewide secular society guided by the values of Humanism and Its Aspirations.
The Freethought Association of West Michigan was founded in 1997 by Jeff Seaver, Don Hansen, and Charles Leedy. Starting as an informal group of less than a dozen, membership eventually grew to 400 freethinkers, with over 550 attendees at some featured lecture events.
Originally, the group met at the home of Don Hansen. Since then, events have been held at Schuler Books, Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts, Wyoming Public Library, Grand Rapids Community College, Yankee-Clipper Library, the Women’s City Club, Wealthy Theatre Annex, and most recently, on Zoom.
Michigan Humanists was founded in 2022 to carry on the 25 years of work started by Jeff, Don, and Charles.
