Evolution

[Aegrus]

How would Feminism or Humanism oppress people? That's just stupid. The primary goal of both is to allow equal, greater rights. I haven't studied Marxism so I can't comment on that.

Aside from that, in order to evolve, deities would need to be able to reproduce biologically. That alone would remove them from the realm of the supernatural.

Collective beliefs cause oppression and self oppression, if you live by primordial instinct you are truly free as an individual. This is getting away from gods but I see that the secularists tend to bind themselves up in so many laws and so called "rights".

Society by nature is restrictive, because true freedom would quickly create miserable anarchy for everyone. However, feminism and humanism create more freedom than is otherwise found in conservative societies. No society is truly "free", but secular societies are the free-est yet created.

Edit- And, of course, we need society. Without it, we're near powerless as a species, and would live in constant pain and misery, struggling only to survive on a daily basis.
