NaNoCon, or the Nashville Nones Convention, creates a uniquely needed space where non-religious people can meet up, share new ideas and good values, and build a supportive community right in the middle of the Bible Belt. NaNoCon brings together top notch secular speakers and welcoming, religion-free community support.

Religion does not have the corner of the market when it comes to morality and ethics. Because of this, humanism is more relevant to our lives in the 21st century than it has ever been. As scientific advances have increased our understanding of the world, gratifying answers to questions can be harder to find. Humanism is the response. Learn about the past, present, and future of humanism and how it can help you live a more satisfying life. Learn more about Candace Gorham’s talk “Humanism for the 21st Century” here.
