YOU MAY BE A SECULAR HUMANIST IF: • You try to live an ethical and fulfilling life without religious belief. • You think science and reason lead to more reliable knowledge than faith. • You support secular government and an open society that guarantees human rights for all. • You make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values. • You see no convincing evidence for gods, the supernatural, or life after death. • You believe that moral values are properly founded on human empathy and scientific understanding. • You believe we must live this life on the basis that it is the only life we'll have -- that, therefore, we must make the most of it for ourselves, each other, and our world. (List courtesy of The Institute for Humanist Studies) SECULAR HUMANISM is a humanist philosophy that upholds reason, ethics, and justice, and specifically rejects the supernatural and the spiritual as the basis of moral reflection and decision-making. Like other types of humanism, secular humanism is a life stance that focuses on the way human beings can lead good, happy and functional lives. The term "secular humanism" was coined in the 20th century to make a clear distinction from "religious humanism". Secular humanism is also called "scientific humanism", because biologist Edward Wilson claimed it to be "the only worldview compatible with science's growing knowledge of the real world and the laws of nature". • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism Militant Atheists: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H74ckoCYq3c Music: "Prelude to the World" by Mr. Fuby .
