[[Secular humanism]] is humanism that is [[Atheism|atheistic]] in nature. It is an idea in which man is self-centered, is an animal and no god is involved. People who are secular humanists do not believe in God and focus on things to better themselves and humanity, such as democracy, peace, a flourishing economy, a high standard of living, and other earthly pursuits<ref>http://www.ihumanism.org/2005/01/the-10-points-of-humanism-a-definition.html</ref>. They do not believe in any gods or spiritual matters, which is a factor in their earthly pursuits.
