upon god(s).

I suggest you read the three Humanist Manifestos at American Humanist Association and see how some of the most brilliant minds in the 20th century have progressed from 1933, to 1973 to the 21st century with developing a system of beliefs that are not god-dependent.

What is Humanism?

As Kurt Vonnegut succinctly described: being a Humanist means trying to behave decently without expectation of rewards or punishment after you are dead.

Humanism is a progressive lifestance that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
