Humanist Association of Ireland
- Humanist Association of Ireland
The Humanist Association of Ireland (HAI) is an Irish Humanist organisation. It is a voluntary body founded in 1993 to promote Humanism, which they describe as
an ethical philosophy of life, based on a concern for humanity in general, and for human individuals in particular. This view of life combines reason with compassion. It is for those people who base their interpretation of existence on the evidence of the natural world and its evolution, and not on belief in a supernatural power.
