Humanist Society of New South Wales (HSNSW)

HSNSW promotes a non-religious non-supernatural world view and supports a number of issues which certain (fundamentalist) religious interests and prominent pro-active individuals with deep religious convictions oppose including abortion law, drug law, euthanasia law reforms and unaccountable allocation of public monies to religious organisations. It is part of the movement which argues that the state and religion should remain separate.
