http://www.humaniststudies.org/humphil.html 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?
