The American Humanist Association was founded in 1941 and currently provides legal assistance to defend the constitutional rights of secular and religious minorities,[4] lobbies Congress on church-state separation and other issues,[5] and maintains a grassroots network of 250 local affiliates and chapters that engage in social activism and community-building events.[6] The AHA has several publications, including The Humanist, Free Mind, peer-reviewed semi-annual scholastic journal Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, and TheHumanist.com.[7] The organization states that it has over 34,000 members.[8]
