Who Are Humanists?

Wonderful little graphic here.

For anyone wishing to find a wonderfully lucid and vaguely humorous essay on this subject, I highly recommend Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism based on a lecture he gave in 1946.

It’s true that humanists are, by definition, not religious, but I would submit that few of us are troubled by Christians who simply want to apply the teachings of Jesus in their lives: love, kindness, charity, and compassion.
