Humanist Thought of the Week

Human Based Moralities

Both religious and human based moralities tend to focus on the same things: compassion and responsibility.

New Humanism

New Humanists are concerned with building a progressive social movement. And we recognize that we need to ally with progressive people of faith to accomplish that.

Don't Be Productive

While being productive is great, not being productive is even better.

The Tragedy of Michael Jackson

Despite all the weirdness, drug addiction, plastic surgery addiction, potential pedophilia and whatever else the man had going on, He was a very talented performer.

Compassion for Everyone

We Humanists tend to be abstract in our compassion. We like the idea of compassion, but don't usually apply our compassion to the real life humans we meet every day.
