What is Humanism? 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.
