PHILIPPINE HUMANIST MISSIONS
Para sa Sekularisasyon, Humanismo at Tao
Cultivate critical thinking through digital media. Advocate for reason and humanism and help spread knowledge about secularism.
The purpose of the Philippine Humanist Missions is to promote humanism and secularism in the Philippines. We provide education, advocacy, and community-building initiatives to empower Filipinos to embrace reason, critical thinking, and evidence-based decision-making in all aspects of life through creative and digital media.
Our movement aims to challenge outdated beliefs, superstitions, and dogmas that hinder progress and impede individual freedoms and societal advancements. Through grassroots efforts, public outreach, and educational programs, we strive to cultivate a society that respects diversity, values inclusivity, and upholds the separation of church and state.
By fostering a culture of secular humanism, we envision a Philippines where individuals are empowered to lead a life guided by rationality, compassion, and ethical integrity. Together, we strive to build a more just, equitable, and enlightened society for present and future generations.
By creating and disseminating relevant educational materials, the movement can raise awareness about the principles of secularism and humanism among Filipinos.

Q:
Are you anti-religion?
A:
We are not categorically anti-religion. What we are advocating is to keep the dogma, doctrines and affairs of religion be separate from the affairs of government.
We advocate for separationism and the abolishment of the current Benevolent Neutrality practice in the Philippine society today.
What does it mean
to be secularist and humanist?
Q:
A:
To be a secularist means advocating for the separation of religion from government and public institutions, advocating for a society where decisions are made based on reason, evidence, and democratic principles rather than religious doctrines.
Being a humanist entails prioritizing the well-being and dignity of humanity, emphasizing reason, compassion, and ethical values in guiding one's actions and beliefs.
Does everyone have the right to not to have religion?
Q:
A:
Yes, everyone has the right to freedom of religion or belief, which includes the right to adhere to any religion, change religions, or hold no religious beliefs at all. This right is enshrined in various international human rights instruments.
It ensures that individuals have the autonomy to choose their own beliefs without coercion or discrimination.

The Philippine Pastafarian Church took center stage as various secular organizations in the Philippines convened for the #PhilippineSecularSummit2024, held under the banner of secularism and for the people.
Secular humanism is comprehensive, touching every aspect of life including issues of values, meaning, and identity. Thus it is broader than atheism, which concerns only the nonexistence of god or the supernatural.
