The Swedish Humanist Association ((スウェーデン語:Humanisterna), "the Humanists") is the largest humanist/rationalist organisation in Sweden with over 4,000 members. It is a member organisation of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). The SHA works for a secular life stance founded on reason, compassion and responsibility. Its goals include a completely secular society, free of religious oppression, discrimination and other infringements on human rights. The SHA also promotes science as the primary method for finding answers to empirical questions, staunchly opposing for instance pseudoscience. The SHA is the fastest growing humanist organisation in the world, having increased its membership by over 150% during 2006. == Organisation and history == The organisation was founded in 1979 and was then called Human-Etiska Förbundet ("Humanist-Ethical Association"). The name was changed into the more international Humanisterna in 1999. Christer Sturmark has been chairman of the organisation since February 2005. There are several local groups, situated in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Umeå, Uppsala, Scania, Örebro, and Småland. There is a virtual network for creating debate in media, and members of the SHA have also founded a virtual network for former Christians, "Exkristen". In November 2007, the youth organisation "Unga Humanister" ("young Humanists") was started. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Swedish Humanist Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
