The need
for critical thinking skills and a humanistic outlook in our
world is great. This is no less true in the Black community
than in others. Many African Americans have been engulfed
by religious irrationality, conned by self-serving "faith
healers", and swayed by dogmatic revisionist historians.
Many others, however, have escaped the oppression of such
delusions, and live happy and upstanding lives free of superstition.
African Americans for Humanism (AAH) exists to bring these
secular humanists together, to provide a forum for communication,
and to facilitate coordinated action. In an irrational world,
those who stand for reason must stand together.

challenged prayer recitation in the public schools. That
case -- Murray v. Curlett -- was a landmark in American
jurisprudence on behalf of our First Amendment rights.
