Polish Society of Rationalists ( Polish: Polskie Stowarzyszenie Racjonalistów ) (acronym: POR / PSR ) is a society of philosophical, scientific, ideological and ethical nature, which unites a person with a rationalistic worldview . It arose on the basis of a virtual community gathered around the portal Racjonalista.pl. The society was founded and was its first chairman Mariusz Agnosevich . POR was included in the KRS (registration court in Poland) on July 6, 2005. PTR is a member of the Polish Humanist Federation and the International Humanist and Ethical Youth Union (IHEYO) . In December 2010, the Society numbered about 230 members. 2005-2006 public administration created difficulties in registering the Company. On April 26, 2005, an application for registration with KRS was drawn up, first accepted frequently, and then on November 23, 2005, after protests by the City Council in Wroclaw, the court refused registration. The company won the appeal and was finally entered on the register on November 10, 2006 [1] .
