The world is evolving, and we're part of that evolution. The main one is that we're moral relativists. Some people think we don't have values al all. The opposite is true. Because everything we do affects nature, we're morally responsible for what happens to the earth.
Humanists emphasize morality a great deal.
I was raised in a nonreligious farm family. Dealing with animals is a good way to become naturalistic and humanistic. And very early I developed the concept of people having imaginary friends. So when I first heard at school about all these gods and Jesus, I just put them in tire category of imaginary friend, the same as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. I first heard about humanism when I got to university and began taking courses in sociology, anthropology and the classics.
