Revision as of 05:26, 16 January 2002 by 152.163.201.xxx (talk) (*religion and humanism)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Humanism is a doctrine, attitude, or way of life centered on human interests or values, stressing an individual's dignity and worth and capacity for self-realization through reason. It usually rejects supernaturalism, but some religious people consider themselves humanists.
Religious people would consider themselves humanists if they acknowledge the fact that humans are capable of performing great feats and able to do things for themselves. Humanism does not reject religion, it merely states that humans are capable creatures who are creative, intelligent and inventive.
