We humanists do not focus on religious belief; our main concern is with human behavior. Given that, although most of us are of an atheist or agnostic bent, with some Deist, pantheist, and other freethinker stances, subscribers to a theist religion are welcome too. Our members live mainly in San Jose, Silicon Valley, Stanford, San Francisco, Palo Alto. Also see: our calendar, our Sunday Forum, our page on Darwin, the AHA's Humanist Manifesto, our family program.
