Secular Humanists

? Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.
? Incarnations
Same as above.
? Origin of Universe and Life
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.
? After Death
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.
? Why Evil?
No concept of ?evil.? Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.
? Salvation
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.

? Undeserved Suffering
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.

? Contemporary Issues
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.

I consider myself a partial agnostic-taoist-zen buddhist so I guess this is pretty accurate. I really have my own set of beliefs that pull from these and a few other schools of thought.

Where are the Raelians, I'll be one of those for this poll

Heh.. I remember once here on ATOT some religious fruitloop called me a secular humanist, taking the tone as if that were a bad thing.

 

[BatmanNate]

What's the difference between scientologists and members of the Church of Christ Scientist?

Scientology is a cult crossed with a pyramid scheme created by a science fiction writer. The Church of Christ Scientist is a Christian sect that does not believe in medical care, as that is not God's will.

[MithShrike]

Yeah... It said I was a Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant but rather I have my own beliefs which I do not wish to explain ATM.

 

[GalvanizedYankee]

Back in the early 70's, I was a member of The Universal Love Church,
aka, The Church of Whats Happening Now.

The test, Liberal Quaker?

 

[Harvey]

According to the test, I'm also a 100% secular humanist, which works for me, but you didn't include that in your poll.

No. Definitely not. I think I just fudged the first page trying to get it to say that I self-worship.
