Hi new guy... I'm against humanism in all forms. It is incredibly speciesist sounding
Well the name of it i too dislike as it does seem to alienate other species. My main motivation for choosing it is the message that it stands for. The two below are the easiest to convey though i agree with most other Humanist writings.
I strongly agree with the council for secular humanism.
Need to test beliefs
Reason, evidence, scientific method
Fulfillment, growth, creativity
Search for truth
This life
Ethics
Building a better world
and the International Humanist and Ethical union
Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality.
