- Sidmennt abstract "Siðmennt, the Icelandic Ethical Humanist Association ((Icelandic) Siðmennt, félag siðrænna húmanista á Íslandi) is closely tied with the Norwegian Human-Etisk Forbund (HEF) and is a member of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU). After the first civil confirmation in Iceland in 1989, the society was founded in February 1990. Since then it directs civil confirmations every year. Until 2008 it gave information about organizing secular funerals and name-giving ceremonies. Sidmennt holds annually lectures and meetings about life stance issues. From May 29, 2008 Siðmennt has offered the services of trained celebrants to conduct secular or humanistic ceremonies, including name-givings, weddings and funerals. Siðmennt is active in the movement for separation of church and state in Iceland.Chairman and a founder of the society is Hope Knutsson.Its name, Sidmennt is derived from the Icelandic words "sið" meaning "ethical" and "mennt" for "education". This is appropriate since as a life stance organization its primary subject is ethics and education on how to lead an ethical life or develop mature ethical practices and theory further.Sidmennt has three main areas of concernEthics - mostly practical ethics and human rights issues. Promotion of humanistic values. Epistemology - Its approach is naturalistic and rejects supernaturalism. Family ceremonies – Secular baby-naming, confirmation, weddings (and vows) and funeral ceremonies conducted by trained celebrants. As with IHEU the association has the "happy human" as its logo but has adopted its own version of it that was designed in 2008 by one of its board member, Svanur Sigurbjörnsson.From 2005 Sidmennt has awarded annually an individual or organization the "Sidmennt award of Humanism" for outstanding work on improving human rights in Iceland. From 2008 Sidmennt has awarded at the same ceremony the "Sidmennt award for Education and Science". In Iceland it applied until early 2013 that secular life stance organizations that are not categorized as religious (like Sidmennt) were not entitled to receive "parish member fees" (sóknargjöld) through the state the way registered religious groups do. Also the secular one's could not take care of the legal aspect of marriage ceremonies. Instead, these church taxes were collected from people who are not members of any registered religious group and given to the University of Iceland. After 2009 it was not given to any particular party. This was changed in 2013 after over 7 years of Sidmennt fighting for a legal change to give secular life stance organizations equal legal status and funding to the religious organizations it finally was accepted and a new law was passed on January 30th 2013.".
