To enable human beings across barriers of culture, politics and religion, to share notions of tolerance and human worth and to develop the ideas of liberty and equality, as they are expressed in the Declaration of Human Rights.

The Norwegian Humanist Association is an organization for people who base their ethics on human values. Our members are agnostics or atheists. We support the following statement of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU): "Humanism is a democratic, non-theistic and ethical life stance which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their lives and therefore reject supernatural views of reality." Our views on what is right and wrong, good and evil, spring from our sense of empathy and mutuality.
