Quote:Can Christians be humanists and moralists?

Ultimately, no, they can't. Given the repeated injunction to ignore the here-and-now in the hope of heaven, 'Christian humanist' is an axiomatically incoherent term.

This isn't to say they some Christians (and other religionists) aren't very fine people - we all know that they are. But in order to be a humanist, they would need to do so in spite of their religion, not because of it.
