Other important elements of humanism are r eliance on natural science and democracy. Humanism is rapidly becoming the standard in educated socities. We find humanism to be an exciting, liberating philosophy, and we see in it answers to most of the problems facing humankind in the world today. People are more important than dogma or ideology.
Nature is all of reality.
We do not know of credible evidence of supernatural beings. The universe is evolved and motivated by unchanging natural laws. Reason and the Scientific Method are the most trustworthy routes to knowledge. Knowledge is a tool to be applied with compassion and empathy for humanitarian purposes. Democracy is humanism applied to government.
