Juhists

Juhists are followers of Juhism, a contemporary ethical and spiritual movement that presents itself as a pluralistic, non-dogmatic path for personal development and social responsibility. The movement seeks to harmonize reason, compassion, and communal service, and it is open to diverse religious and philosophical expressions. Juhism emphasizes human dignity, empirical inquiry, and a commitment to improving the common good.

Core beliefs include justice for all, humility before the limits of knowledge, and care for the natural world. Adherents affirm the equal worth of all people, support nonviolence, and advocate for robust public education, healthcare, and environmental protection. While there is no centralized creed, many Juhists subscribe to ethical guidelines that prioritize inclusivity, transparency, and accountable leadership.

Practices vary by community but commonly include regular study groups, charitable projects, and rituals that mark major life transitions. Gatherings emphasize dialogue, reflective practice, and peer mentorship. Local groups organize service missions, interfaith events, and educational programs to promote critical thinking and civic participation.

Juhism operates as a loose federation of local groups rather than a centralized clergy. Local councils coordinate activities, and regional assemblies address shared concerns and coordinate events. International in scope, adherents are concentrated in urban centers and universities, though communities exist in many regions and cultures.

Juhism arose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as a synthesis of secular humanism, ecological ethics, and interfaith learning. Supporters view it as a flexible framework for ethical living without dogma; critics argue that it can be vague and fragmented or that religious language is used to advance secular aims. The movement continues to evolve through education, dialogue, and community service.
