Nor i follow:

Are there differences between a secular humanism world view and metaphysical naturalism?

Castaa,

Secular Humanism is one sort of metaphysical naturalism. So if you're a secular humanist, you're a naturalist, but if you're a naturalist, you're not necessarily a humanist.

It never ceases to amaze me the human desire to form and be associated with groups Laughing

An organisation promoting humanism having a logo is no reason for me to be a humanist, but it isn't a reason for me to refrain from humanism either. I give a shit. And ultimately that's what a humanist is; an atheist who gives a shit.

Simply put humanism is the moral framework that places human prosperity at the centre. It stands in contrast to theism because it inserts "for our sake" where a theist would insert "for God's sake".

As an atheist you're not under the impression that there's a God or guardian angels looking out for us, so unless you are inclined to think the little birdies will look after us, or that it would be great if you were utterly alone and had to take care of everything and I do mean every fucking thing yourself, you'll recognize that it's up to us to take care of us.

Humanism isn't a group to belong to, but the acknowledgement of mankinds self-reliance, and the interdependance of people.

Humanism is not a default position.

• If Humanism is Atheism, then Humanism support Atheism.
• Atheism does not support Humanism.
• Therefore, Humanism is not Atheism.
