| | Humanist Manifesto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike the later ones, the first manifesto talked of a new "religion", and referred to humanism as a religious movement meant to transcend and replace previous, deity-based religions. | | | The manifesto originally arose from religious humanism, though secular humanists also signed. | | | It differs from the other three in that it is a full-length book rather than essay-length, and was published not by the AHA but by the Council for Secular Humanism which is typically more secular in its outlook. |

| | Humanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Not all people who call themselves humanists hold beliefs that are genuinely humanistic, and not all people who do hold humanistic beliefs apply the label of humanism to themselves. | | | Secular humanists generally believe that following humanist principles naturally leads to secularism, on the basis that religious views cannot be supported rationally. | | | Other types of people that may be considered religious humanists are those who, despite believing in a religion, don't consider it necessary to derive all their moral values from it. |

| | FT March 2000: The Humanist Manifestos (1933, 1973, 1999) |
| | Manifesto I blazons that humanism is a religion. | | | Denying that secular humanism is a religion, Manifesto III pins the blame for this calumny on fundamentalists and right—wingers, never mentioning that the first Manifesto said it was a religion. | | | The Manifestos are also naturalistic: they think nature is all there is. Scorning "salvationism" as a distraction from the pressing problems of the present life, they disavow belief in God and call upon human beings to "save" themselves. |

| | What is Humanism? |
| | The definition of religion used by Religious Humanists is a functional one. | | | Humanists therefore recognize that we live in a natural universe of great size and age, that we evolved on this planet over a long period of time, that there is no compelling evidence for a separable "soul," and that human beings have certain built-in needs that effectively form the basis for any human-oriented value system. | | | This is made evident by the fact that both Secular and Religious Humanists were among the signers of Humanist Manifesto I in 1933 and Humanist Manifesto II in 1973. |

| | Contemporary Atheism Speaks Out In Humanist Manifesto 2000: Religion, Truth, and Value Without God |
| | The humanist's faith is based on his belief that nonrational causes cause rational beings (humans with minds) who are themselves composed entirely of the nonrational, and yet are somehow able to step outside of that nonrationality and reason to the conclusion that everything is material and therefore nonrational. | | | The humanist believes that outside the universe there is no eternal mind that produced and rationally governs the universe. | | | While the humanist assumes these factors as "the inherent properties of matter," or "an evolutionary survival mechanism," and so forth, the Christian knows the assumptions are based on the eternal, infinite, unchanging, rational, and moral nature, character, and power of God. |

| | The Humanist Manifesto and the Future |
| | Create a humanist church and soon there would be a multitude of different kinds of humanist churches, with excursions into metaphysics, arguments over religion and politics, and the whole works all over again. | | | To fully grasp the historic meaning of the Manifesto as a life-affirming document, it must be seen against the negative censure of humanity that has been the chief corrupter of the Christian religion: the belief in original sin that for centuries was a blight on Western culture. | | | And the humanists, I said, really are poorly organized, so there wasn't anyone there in authority to cause her any trouble, though with her belief in God she might be a bit out of the mainstream of humanism. |

| | Humanist Manifesto I (Vanity) |
| | As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to live and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith. | | | Because humanists claim to embrace rationality and science while rejecting irrationality and mysticism, one would expect their views to be objective and rational, but in fact, humanism is actually a kind of religion, dominated by subjectivity and credulity. | | | If Humanists were really principled, they would be for the separation of education, economy, and property, as well as the church, from the state. |

| | Of course, when the humanist demands such proofs from Christians who respond in like manner ("God just is," or "Deep inside you know God exists," or "Just have faith"), the humanist loses not a moment in rejecting and often ridiculing the Christian for not justifying his or her belief. | | | Humanists, then, are not neutral when it comes to belief in God, the supernatural, or any religion, including Christianity. | | | This kind of humanist, by far in the minority, is the one most open to the rational claims of Christianity, such as the positive arguments for the existence of God, that will be provided in the second installment of this article. |

| | The Humanist: Symposium on Humanist Manifesto II: reflections... @ HighBeam Research |
| | Whereas the first manifesto was a frank, optimistically forward-looking effort to formulate the basis for a modern liberal religious humanism, the second manifesto, three times as long, is primarily a secular humanist proclamation in which religion plays a minor part. | | | Humanist Manifesto III must address the nature and origin of human love, in contrast to divine love which has been offered, unsuccessfully, over this past millennium as a solution to the crises of humanity. | | | A revised manifesto should make clear that we do not confuse the attitudes of the bigoted extreme religious right with those of the great majority who retain some degree of faith in a personal or impersonal God. |

| | Humanist: Critical commentary on Humanist Manifesto III - Humanism and Its Aspirations |
| | It is the failure to clearly acknowledge the validity of other worldviews which accept "right living in this world" as part of their responsibility to some being or force beyond themselves (or even of all humanity). | | | In turn, the document fails to acknowledge the desirability of secular humanists working in harmony with people who hold those views today. | | | First, for those who support the positions your articles emphasize yet who also affirm a Judaic-Christian, participatory god, the phrase "without supernaturalism" is unacceptable. |

| | UU World: Our Humanist Legacy, by William F. Schulz |
| | The Humanist Manifesto of 1933, the seventieth anniversary of which we celebrate this year, was consciously designed to encapsulate a religious faith, not just a philosophy of life, and for all its religious failings, it represented a heartfelt attempt to amalgamate intellectual integrity with religious expression. | | | Most of the early religious humanists were not interested in abandoning religion but in transforming it. | | | For of course, early religious humanists had to be bold in their pronouncements and brash in their claims. |
