Quote by: Morality Games  A long time ago. Humanism has been associated with deism, pantheism, and atheism for lack couple centuries, however, and has become very secularized in the last hundred years. Please stop your asinine use of language. |
Do I need to drag up the thread dedicated to the meaning of words? How select members stand firm that words are absolute in meaning and do not vary?
I'm well aware of what humanism means today, hence why it has its own associated religion.

That's nice, but the term 'humanist' is usually applied negatively when used by the religious today, mostly because they know it refers to secularists. There are still some people who are genuinely religious who consider themselves humanists, but they typically aren't the topic of conversation (hence, the activity of contemporary language) because they aren't controversial enough.

Every read the nice long piece called the humanist manefiesto? I might have spelled it wrong in use but please look it up, you can find it online. That item written for group considering itself the official humanitarianism religion is why I don't think much of anyone who calls themselves a humanist.

Because one judge decided a form of it functioned enough like a religion to warrant tax exempt status, but it has also been noted that under no public law is it considered a religion.

It's as much a religion as any other group of 5 people of more who claim a religion. I see no reason why a bunch of secularist would desire such so I can only assume their just taking advantage of tax laws for their own ill gain. Some group of people.
