Opinion of American Humanist Association?

Admirably forthright in its sincere commitment to continuing to fight the liberal battles of the Bush era. I'm not actually being sarcastic. Didn't vote.

"Humanism" in the sense that the AHA uses the word is a specific ideology and worldview that one might think of positively, negatively, or anywhere in between, not a generic term for abstract concern for "humanity" as such. And even if it did just mean an abstract concern for humanity, that concern can be a cover for some pretty awful ideas, from eugenics to environmental Prometheanism.

Why are some of our forum users down on the AHA?


Humanism is all about advancing humanity, there's nothing wrong with that sentiment.

Actually, secular humanism is all about blocking man’s growth in the Holy Spirit. It is the opposite of progressive.

This is an idiotic point. That's not at all what secular humanism is "about", even if you and I might feel that that's one of the effects that it has.

Strategically placed by Satan to tempt the faith of mankind, just like dinosaur fossils.

Okay guys, he's definitely trolling. I've known some pretty crazy evangelicals and even they didn't believe dinosaur fossils were strategically placed here by Satan to tempt the faith of Christians.

I'm pretty sure there's a Chick Tract that alleges that, but Chick Tracts are widely considered jokes even by conservative Evangelicals.
