| | + | ::Even with these, we need to be careful to maintain that this organization does not represent ALL secular humanists. Also, I think the "anti-religion" assertion really needs some major support, as it's hard to define anti-religion (against all belief in supernatural? personally disbelieving but willing to accept others' beliefs? actively proselytizing against religion? believing that religion should be illegal?), and I think of secular humanists as being the segment of nontheism that emphasizes religion or lack thereof the least, aiming more towards social justice and such things. --[[User:John|John]] 22:42, 12 March 2007 (EDT) |

| | + | I have nothing against yours. I just think the article was way too polemic and makes us look bad, so I thought we should start from scratch. [[User:MountainDew|MountainDew]] 17:39, 13 March 2007 (EDT) |

| | + | ==About the definition== |
| | + | Secular Humanist is not against religion. Rather, humanism is an ideology emphasizing the value of the human experience and interpretation of the world over more organized, "top-down" forms of religion. Thus, secular humanism is a brand of humanism that deemphasizes the importance of creeds, in order to focus on the shared aspects of humanity. |

| | + | Note: |
| | + | 1. Secular humanists do not hate or conspire to overthrow religion. |
| | + | 2. Secular humanists are not required to hold ACLU memberships, nor do they engage in clandestine devil-worship. |
| | + | 3. Attack pages created to denounce various ideologies are not representative of encyclopedic content, nor do they reflect well on Conservapedia. |
