- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2021
- As organized religion loses its “market share” among traditionally religious societies, Humanism is on the rise and is one of the fastest growing movements and life philosophies in the world today. While many who consider themselves “religious” are largely unfamiliar with the origins, history, and beliefs of the movement often called Secular Humanism, the growth of this philosophy is such that all should seek to better understand its core characteristics. Listen to this short episode to learn more about the Humanist movement and its approach to life and religiosity.

Thanks bro helped me with my exams
I'm Catholic and I think that helping others is the right thing to do. I don't help others out of religious reasons, but because I'm a good and caring person. I respect the freedom of others too. I think that each person should define the meaning of life as their own. Each person has their own purpose and meaning that they give themselves. I think *you* give meaning to your life. Have a nice day and God bless!
But as a Catholic the Holy spirit is guiding your heart as is mine
So you don’t help others because you are trying to model yourself after Christ, but because it is what society says is a good and caring thing to do?
Anything that takes God out of the equation is evil.
@@Tguchi26 I help others because it is a natural Human thing to do! No 'messiah' figure or deity is needed to do that whatsoever!
@@paulrasmussen4656 No it isn't!
Human form at its finest. Natural.
Why are people disliking? She is just explaining the definition.
Over 50% of Americans have the reading comprehension of a 6th grader or worse.
I think it's fair to say that secular humanists generally take a narcissistic approach voiding there humanist title and it is possible they confused on there level of intelligence. True humanists value humanity and look at the end goal with a empathetic approach.
I appreciate this. It is a definition only.
Just finished C.S. Lewis ‘The Pilgrims Regress.’ Wonderful! He discussed all this. This is his first book that he wrote, after becoming a Christian (1932)
Thank you for this comment! I love books and this topic so I'll defo look into it!☺
Humanism is the belief that we as humans are the sum total of all morality and rationality, the belief in ourselves as thinking, rational and critical creatures who can create a moral, just and stable society without (or in spite of) religious teachings and beliefs.
Humanism is simply the love of humanity and the optimistic belief in our individual and collective intellect, that the we as humans are capable of bettering ourselves and others.
Humanism is the acceptance and self awareness of our own flaws whilst optimistically aspiring towards goodness and through the balance of these distinct dichotomies can we achieve divinity: a divinity not of utter and immaculate perfection and immortality but a divinity of self awareness and co-eternal and continuous improvement of us as a species and society.
Humanism is nothing more or less than the celebration of the human experience and our coming to terms with the human condition.
Because of this true humanism isn't about the marginalisation of religion but as one of its facets, it is the acceptance of religion as part of the human experience and condition; a symptom of our flaws and aspirations as a species.
I may not agree with your view of humanity, but I appreciate you fleshing out what humanism means. It's good to have some details that the short video could not include.
@@ryanelise5278 I can see why you would be optimistic. For thousands of years world population remained very low due to disease and war. Yet it’s clear that humankind is still basically selfish and greedy. And at any time we can give power to a megalomaniac like Stalin … or Trump.
I'm not sure and might be wrong about Buddhism and Confucianism but all three seem to be either the foundation or the tip top without a foundation depending on one's bias.
A while ago I came across short vid" We were afraid".Does anyone out there know where I can find it??
What is it about?
Nice description
Thank You
Humanism is the worship of self with a focus on gnosticism.
Renaissance humanism is a synthesis between the Judeo-Christian tradition and Greco-Latin culture. In reality, the incarnation of the Son of God is the greatest dignification of the human being.
Yes but maybe humility is more useful than elevation. Got to know our limitations as a script writer once said.😊
Ah the Vutruvian man, first formulated in ancient Vedanta
The video with the X in the clouds I bet was Harp!
I don't know as there is no sound!!!! And yes it is turned up!!!! So I presume I'm not meant to know!!!... Ffs....
thank you!! can you do one on Antinatalism?
Antinatalism: Pathetic weirdos that need to get laid.
To think that we are only flesh is an ignorance compared to thinking that an apple is only red. Law of oneness has many laws (entities) inside itself as do all the other laws. Law of polarity, Spirit flesh, Light dark, Good bad, Holy evil, ying yang , God human…. Which all are connected. Law of singularity, plurality and collective. To try and put oneself above God will be devastation for that being. He will bring ALL to their knees! Even Satan will bow!
Amen
Proud humanist!!!
do you vote? If so, wich party would you recommend for the younger generation.
Wow.
The humanism I became acquainted with in the mid-60’s, mainly from *Van Loon’s Lives*, was certainly not, or at least not exclusively, “atheistic”. I am thinking mainly about Desiderius Erasmus, we must now qualify as “Renaissance humanism”. No wonder that Jesuit fella was looking shocked about summat! lol
Since when is Humanism a religion? Surely a religion requires belief in the super natural in some form (gods, the soul, reincarnation etc).
*Surely a religion requires belief in the super natural in some form (gods, the soul, reincarnation etc).*
Nope. That's not what a religion is, dude. Religion is a social institution that involves a unified system of beliefs, and practices that recognize the sacred.
However, not all religions have the concept of gods in their belief systems. There are non-theistic religions that do exist. Jainism, buddhism, and unitarian universalism.
@@americanliberal09 those examples all still have supernatural beliefs, such as souls and reincarnation, which is what their point was. Humanism is a philosophy not a religion and has no traits that would class it as a religion.
@@charlestownsend9280 I wasn't even talking about humanism being a religion.
So i've already known that humanism isn't really a religion.
I just rebutting the OP claims that religion is synonymous with "theism". That's it.
It's fair to say it's a worldview.
Being spirit having a human experience!
The road to hell was paved with good intentions
When it comes to building on human abilities the goal runs into its antithesis, namely Narcissism. As this is supernaturally backed, persuasion becomes obsolete as a luxurious civility.
It is useful to motivate such as the world transformation movement, but the character of human goal can only be stabilised by the truth of prophesy that life is ultimately owned and judged by a spiritual God. It takes supernature to counter the temptation and intolerance of the selfish and intolerant as no doubt we shall soon experience. Humanism will become a memory of civilised intellectual freedom until it is dealt with by a Spirit reality few had FAITH in.
Motive is either a Spirit or Selfish energy life form as a product of the supreme SELF. Prophesy is never wrong, you have to choose before you are deluded by the comparative. The overstanders misuse and outopress the understanders without evolutionary circumspect. It only requires the glamour and determination of a Corona ME (myopic existence) over the WE (wisdom existence) that humanism would like to see. The WE can only triumph under faith and influence as democracy is only a fragile value of strength to the better mind.
God bless endeavourers.
I hate to tell you, but you writing the stuff as a narcissistic enough you have to reflect back on yourself there
@@lightseeker131 Precisely the point. It's all about reflection that the spirit not selfish energy life form examples the correct s.e.l.f. Narcissism demands implicitly or else.
"creating their own reality..."
I'ma have to stop you right there.
"Individuals have the right to define meaning for themselves."
Yeah, as long as you're ok with being wrong.
That's the new age satanic agenda
Agreed. Anyone who bases their conclusions on faith had better be VERY comfortable with being wrong, because it's pretty much guaranteed.
Human ability is limited so alone cannot satisfied or peace👐
Really, how is the world today?
I’m into youtubism where our sermons are all in awe watching videos of cats and talking dogs
So what gospel values do humanists share?
As a humanist, this is pretty succinct and accurate.
It is also vulnerably compartmental. The exploitation of the human needs the inner strength of the circumspect and spiritual.
@@RHope7 I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re trying to say.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 😂 I'm sorry, I only stick to overview.
@@RHope7 The problem is that your comments don’t actually make any sense. I just read your long comment that you posted as well, and that doesn’t make any sense either.
I’m really not trying to be rude, but I feel like maybe you are trying to sound smart and philological, but in the process, you’ve just ended up making your arguments convoluted and meaningless. In other words, it seems like you’ve tried so hard to sound insightful and intellectual that it’s had the complete opposite effect - and now your comments just read like nonsensical gibberish.
Again, please don’t take this in the wrong way. I am really not trying to be mean, just offer some constructive criticism, because otherwise, no one will understand what you’re trying to say. Sometimes it’s better to just simplistically write what you want to say. If your arguments are truly intelligent and insightful, it won’t matter if you’ve conveyed them in a clear, concise manner - they’ll still come across as intelligent and insightful.
If you try to simplify what you’re trying to say, I really think that would help you get your argument(s) across more clearly. Just write how you speak normally - as if you were having a casual conversation with someone. Don’t think too much about it. 😊
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 I know, I replied to a post on Sam vaknins 'how the narcissist responds to grey rock' under "If narcissism is the future humanity ends" and received the same confusion, but it's not about trying to sound intelect but conveying the circumspect of our endeavour 'collective respect' problem.
In the vid, it mentions secular humanism adopting a non supernatural approach to the pursuit of well-being and goodwill to others. Obviously criticisms of religious authority distract from the humanistic understanding of Christ, but what I mean to say is that well meaning faces the compartmental conveniences of the selfish mind, that without the supernatural faith of belief in values, the narcissistic attitude commands in its own interests.
Sorry if it still seems gibberish, compacting an argument on a thread is a challenge, and I haven't ranted about dystopia either as I might.
You made it.
If you have watched this video then you're probably a very intelligent human being according to statistics, stay dependent on yourself not some unrealistic god
This rides a really weird line between "you're mischaracterising it, because Humanism is just the opposite of misanthropy, NOT of religion," versus being, like, astonishingly self-aware. I can't decide where on that line it is. Hmm...
Oh, and I'm a Pantheistic Humanist, by the way.
@Rohan Preuss, to be clear, I like Jesus, which is why I DISLIKE Christianity. Worship the messenger instead of practicing the Message? And before you say "No, it's not instead of, it's in addition to," YOU tell me what's more important: helping other people, or accepting Jesus as your lord and saviour?
@Rohan Preuss , don't tell this guy what to do man. He doesn't have to.
@Rohan Preuss The reasoning of a psychopath. We put people in the loony bin for saying things like "love me or I will torture you."
@Rohan Preuss Good people don't need a reason to help others, they do it because it is the right, or human, thing to do. If you need bribes and/or threats to do right then you are not good, only cowardly.
@Rohan Preuss this is why decent folks avoid christianity. Look at how you attack people. Look at how evil you seem and suggest we should all be evil too. No thanks and if you had Ever read the bible you would know who it says is god of this world. The same one that offer your Jesus his kingship here. Just Google the term "god of this world" or specifically 2 Corinthians 4:4 "Satan, god of this world" dafuq outa here with this garbage
Cambodia is a secular country...? Population 16m.
If God left everything to human beings we would all be annihilated.
Quiet in the wings freewill🙂
It looks like he has left everything to us. It's up to us to make the world a better place.
so not humanism, but secular humanism? thanks.
In next century there won't be any religious people hardly left on the planet just before armagargadeon
So what you are saying is we worship humans and that one day we will all be enlightened how foolish we have ignorant people from the sheep to the wolves who have ignored the fact that we were created and I refuse to worship any creation as a individual I know messages and a manual book for us was sent by the one and only creator unimaginable supreme light. Humanism has been changed from philosophy to this the unseen world rhetoric how naive and don’t insult our intellect
Only love🎉
Counseling,religion and therapy should be in humanism
The entire mental health paradigm is completely humanist. It was introduced to the masses in the West in the 1950s and look how far we've "come" in the past 70 years.
We do not reject the knowledge of Spiritual. Beings… for we all are.. and we remain human..humanism means to first be human,to be. developing ones own instincts coming into deeper realms where we find the Soul waiting for us … the Spirit, life , in all its forms … gathers to be come more Than before..
Humanity first, death to xenos.
Ask boris he won’t know though ...
NOT a religion!
Sure it is, luckily for America freedom of religion is still alive. That means people shoving opinions down another's throat is thankfully frowned upon. Btw, I can recite the 10 commandments word for word just to cite an example of my historical religious study.
@@Sandra-gu3xb your use of the word "religion" is incorrect. You're using it in a way that makes sense as an American, but you're using it as a slang, not the technical term.
Whereas the OP was using it as a technical term. You're both correct in your own ways, but no, it is not a religion. Much like Buddhism, it's a philosophy or a "way of living". Otherwise show me the tiers within, who leads it, who gets the tax break, where do all of the "tithings" go?
Yes it is
Whats the last two words an atheist says as he dies ??? OH GOD
Even the satanic church guy himself said he made a mistake on his death bed but Satan is a deceiver he was then he is now we're in the end times ppl will depart from the faith but they will regret it but there's still time to be saved I pray anyone reading this turns to The Most High today only He can save us all ONLY He can save our soul 🙏 ❤
Humanism is a tame name for an Athiest!
Or liberalism - do as you please as long as the harm factor is not affecting anyone else or against they consent to it too
Tame…..what’s wrong with the word atheist that it needs to be tamed in first place
There’s nothing wrong with atheism. I believe that the most important thing is for showing kindness and respect for others. I’m a virtuous and forgiving woman. Many atheists do more charitable work than Christians do. It comes from our hearts not to score points to get into heaven.
@@leticiagarcia9025 There should not be any stigma for the word atheist. It's an honest term. Christians do not do good works for "points" but to please God. It's like a child trying to please their parents. Different motivation.
An atheist is actually satanic do as u please when u please do what u want when u want as alister Crowley taught them do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law... look where thts got us!
In humanism man is god.
That’s the most preposterously selfish idea I can imagine
No, considering that you can get religious humanists. So you either have humanists who believe in god/s or humanists who don't believe in god/s, either way neither of them believe themselves to be god. I'm not even sure how you'd get to that conclusion even by watching this not so great video on the topic.
It's feasible if a human life manages to spirit reflect endeavour cradle to grave. It's not hard to believe good motive is rewardable in evolution. Live or dead.
I can roll with that.
Yes man will one day be god, this is our journey.
We don’t have to follow any religion to know what’s right (or wrong)or what the right thing to do to help others…thank god I’m an atheist..
And where is your standard for right and wrong?
@@anthonybarber3872 Man has morals, feelings, love ALL without religion!
@@anthonybarber3872 is that a cryptic question…….treat people the way you want to be treated and speak to people the way you want to be spoken to….
@@anthonybarber3872 From being a sane and rational Human who understands pain and suffering etc, how bad that feels for me personally, and therefore not wanting to inflict that pain/suffering on anybody or anything else.
It's really not that difficult!
It certainly doesn't require some imaginary 'god'.
@Kong Zilla It's a common figure of speech and John was being 'tongue-in-cheek' 🙄

Yup becuz its made to make u feel that way. So u will bow to THEIR wisdom. The writer is actually manipulating historical facts. Put God 1st in ur life. Dont worry. Read the NewTestament & look for Jesus He’s ur example. He loves u
@@JC-rj6ri I know of Jesus, he suffered great pain and blood to stop evil.
@@daveycook1766 but evil still exists and even rampant. Think about the things we hear on the news everyday
Interestingly the idea of humanism started as a pure Christian thought and philosophy by the reformers both Zwingli and Erasmus. It is based on what Jesus said that he came to give life and and higher life. This is life amongst humanity to love one another, and to care for one another, and to pursue peace amongst ourself, etc. , the question has worldly humanism achieved that, and has evangelical Christianity understood that? The answer unfortunately is neither.
What a ridiculous statement. Humanism was a major movement in Greek and Roman philosophy and was stolen by Christians. Zwingli and Erasmus where Johnny come lately and drew their ideas from the Classic writers who were rediscovered by the Renaissance which was the snuffing out of the darkness of the Age of Faith by the light of Humanism.
@@lensman67 You're operating off a mythical post enlightenment view of history. First, the consensus of historians reject the notion of a "Age of Darkness" to begin with. The Italian Rennaissance was one of many renaissances that were started since the Medieval Period. Second, humanism as a specific school of thought did not start with the Greeks and Romans. It was thinkers like Petrarch and Erasmus and others who were operating out of a Christian frame work that was also influenced by Scholasticism.
It means “devoid of God”.
The first humanists were Christians 🤦🏼♀️
However, it is true that most humanists today are secularists and atheists. God doesn’t exist, so we can’t be “devoid” of him - we simply lack a belief in god, because there is no rational reason to believe that one exists.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 I feel sorry for you. God bless and Merry Christmas
I'm a skeptic deist, used to be atheist, humanism is an ethos
Secular humanism is not a religion but many of its adherents follow political ideologies religiously
You're being pedantic. I am a slave 2 chocolate I am a slave to the love I feel for my wife. You know damn well I am not using the word slave as an enslaved person would. Religion Posites Supernatural events and an eschatology you can say I follow the Green Bay Packers religiously but you know damn well there are no wars being fought over football no classes of people's being oppressed and forced into subjugation, being justified by my religious love of football. These are not the same things, be serious.
I'm curious.
Why are you deist? What has convinced you that a deistic god exists?
Any humanistic community?
I think it's a philosophy.
That's literally what the video said in the very first sentence. It's also a group you can belong to if you wish - well it is in the UK. They campaign against faith schools due to their indoctrination of children and and the inclusion of the Church of England in the British Government - they want complete separation, which we don't have here in the UK as yet.
Right. If philosophy is a science, so too is spirit for need of betterment.
Both are human as is social and physical science. Good consequence doesn't come from covert bad motive.
@@RHope7 ok. I guess.
Humanism erases God and put humans in a position to govern over themselves making up their own moral code, leading inevitably to totalitarian regimes.
Um, the history of civilization is filled with totalitarian nations headed up by divinely appointed kings, emperors and leaders.
Humanism is about taking care of people. Taking care of each other.
It's same as buddhism. Human is core part of Buddhism, and also No person in world studied human mind as Buddha did.
I am sorry. I cannot take a book that condones slavery and genocide. I find it morally wrong. That is why I am a humanist.
Well we still have that with Christianity, Muslim, and other religions.
It's too bad that this is the definition of this word lol
We are doomed
It would have made more sense to make a video about humanism, and other about secular humanism. This is a little messy. Many people consider nowadays humanist and regarless any pro or con about religion.
Christianity is supposed to be a personal edification. 🙄
Cultural Marxism 101
Evil. It's evil.
Humanism is not a religion. Some religions have tried to usurp it ( i.e. Christianity) by including some humanistic sounding doctrines. But if it's religion, it's not Humanism.
So what constitutes a religion to you?
Humanism is lame
Wrong
I believe in Jesus Christ,I believe that there is another life,I believe in ghosts because because I've seen one,I believe that there has to be a greater purpose than just being here,but I am also a humanist,I believe that everyone and everything has a right to life,now this is where it gets into a grey area because history has always shown that man and wild animals can't share the same patch and that man and man have always sort to conquer and enslave each other in the name of honour,power, success,greed,ego,etc and this will always continue.A wise man once said to keep the peace you have to prepare for war hence the end of humanistic values,it's ok to be giving untill things become scarce then your protecting not giving.
I am Wiccan & our beliefs are very similar to Humanism. We revere NATURE & our place in the world & as part of the World.
It cannot be called a religion as humanists do not accept the existence of God..
Ummmmm...dude. Theism is not synonymous with religion, because there are "non-theistic religions" that do exist. So, therefore, not all religions even need to have a concept of a "deity" in order to be one.
And, besides. There are "non-religious theists" who do exist as well.
I suggest you look up the definition of the word "religion". Humanism is more a philosophy. And I am an 87 year old woman, not a "dude"!
@@wendyfield7708 "ahem" Religion is a social institution that involves a unified system of beliefs, and practices that recognize the sacred. So, therefore, religions don't necessarily have to be theistic in order to be one.

I have already known that humanism is just a philosophy, not a religion. But I was just trying to correct you on something that theism is not synonymous with religion, because there are "non-theistic religions" that do exist.

That's why it evil disguised as good
We live in end times....Jesus is the only way
this was an insightful video - it also made me think about a seminar on the prophecy in the Bible and Revelation which was really good, and wanted to share. it is like nothing I had heard of before. Revelation clearly explained i hope you are all blessed by this too ❤️ ruclips.net/video/5VT1UUpIAbs/видео.html
Also known as 'the reflector' which humanism aims to do.
It’s been the end times since the earth was formed.
Humanism is death. Death to life. Death to the creator. The opposite to love.
It is however concern. Our raised consciousness right
Worshiping the creation rather than the Creator?
Why worship the creator? Is there even a creator? If there is how do we know that they want to be worshipped? Why would they want to be worshipped? Wouldn't that be like us wanting to be worshipped by ants? Or like making robots with true AI and wanting them to worship us? Sounds kind of ridiculous and petty.
That was an interesting piece of propaganda. Calling your movement Humanism does not make it humanism. Your entire speil is fabricated. You are either lying outright about the past or are profoundly ignorant of it. You clearly know next to nothing about the Christian Church pastor or present or about actual Humanism. The ancient Greek Humanists believed that human beings could do godlike things. They still honored and worshipped their gods. They made it quite clear that one had better honor and worship their gods.
Yup there they go rewriting history again to manipulate the masses

This doesn't really make sense, saying that god is all ideas just sounds like philosophical word salad to sound like you have a smart point but really you're just making things up.
Also how can god be everything?
So god can this God be falsified? If god is everything how can you prove that god does or doesn't exist?
Humanism is atheism plus. It is certainly not a religion.
If mankind would read and study the Bible especially the king James version they would know all there is to know about the loving heavenly father and his son Jesus Christ it’s the only truth you’ll ever find in this world that is controlled by Satan the evil onei

Most religions have the concept of blasphemy. In this respect, humanism is no different. This aspect of humanism is something Richard Dawkins recently learned (thou.shalt.not.question.transgender.ideology!) I think humanism's faith in the tenets of transgender ideology are significant enough that it should have been mentioned in the video.
Most religions are a vehicle for ignorance, hatred and bigotry. Congratulations, you got that part nailed. When Jesus told us to love one another he did not say “except…..”.
If it wasn't for dishonesty, you would have no morals at all. You deliberately, and badly mischaracterize humanism and pretend that it “grew on Christian values as expressed in the Gospels.” BULL!
Humanism predates Christianity by centuries and was a major movement in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy. Indeed, anyone who has actually studied the topic knows that what we call “Christianity” is merely the fusion of Jewish mysticism with Classical Humanism. After the long night of ignorance and superstition known as “the Age of Faith” (aka the Dark Ages) Europe was saved from ignorance by the Renaissance, which was the rediscovery of Classical Humanism from ancient texts.
Religion IS the problem, not spirituality

Religion isn't the problem, either, because not all religions are even remotely the same as you wanna believe.
@@americanliberal09 you are right brother. We all have our own perception of God and spirituality and how gentle a thing that should be, and that shows who you are.
