Vision

The vision for Humanistic Christianity is to develop a structure for ‘Cultural Christianity’, enabling non-believers, agnostics, atheists, heretics and humanists, as well as people who may have a faith, to look at Christianity and to consider what is still good, worthy, helpful, healthy, positive, beautiful and worth retaining, whether or not you hold a belief in God or in the supernatural.

We encourage doubting, questioning, dissenting, and discarding anything which might be considered outdated and harmful religious dogma.

In the Bible, Jacob is said to ‘wrestle’ with God, and so it is appropriate to wrestle with tradition, dogma and the church, in order to make it a place of ‘blessing’.

It is our intention to work within and alongside religious Christian churches and organisations with a view to encouraging a more open dialogue, where doubt and questioning is no longer seen as a threat or a danger, but rather a potentially positive and helpful exercise, which can move us all on toward a more healthy and less harmful church.
