Abstract

The Humanist Manifesto, written in 1933 and published in the May–June 1933 issue of the New Humanist magazine, is a twelve hundred-word document that lays out the tenets of religious humanism. Its primary author was Raymond B. Bragg, a Unitarian minister and at the time the secretary of the Western Unitarian Conference, who was joined by thirtythree other signatories. The 1933 document is generally referred to as Humanist Manifesto I, to distinguish it from later manifestos published in 1973 and 2003.
