Ok, so...I'm confused. I understand that there can be "religion" in Humanist beliefs? Our church (Universal Unitarian) claims to be humanist but I thought humanist was Athiest? This above is from the Institute of Humanist Studies and leads me to believe that I am right in my assessment but the church made it sound like you can have or be both religious and humanist at the same time.

Also...Humanist seems to be a synonym for Rational Thought. Is Rational Thought subjective? And can Rational Thought be a part of religion?
Most humanist I know even here in Spokane are just a bunch of God Haters ~chuckles~.

The true altruism of "Humanism" is knowing that we are alone, yet using upstanding/ good principles and virtues in our lives, as a humanist understands that it isn't the fear or Gods or an afterlife that can make one good-willed and a person of integrity, but it is the principles that come from within us, even the Torah, Koran, and Bible have sayings like, "It is not that which goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out ~smiles~

Humanist have become God - Haters because Christianity, Islam and Jews all proclaim the only way to Creator, and this has been the cause of many deaths throughout the passages of time since the inception of these religions.

What I find funny is if you are a humanist and have the very will to change your reality or emotional/ spiritual paradigm anytime you want, then why even bother with them?! ~chuckles~

I guess everyone needs drama in their lives ~chuckles~
