'''Humanism''' is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of the human species, both individually and collectively. Humanism is non-dogmatic and open-ended. The meaning of the term ''humanism'' has fluctuated according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. Generally, however, humanism is the belief that human beings are the source of meaning and values. Humanists see humanity as having the capacity for continued growth and development, and they affirm some notion of human freedom and progress. Humanism views humanity as responsible for the promotion and development of individuals, espouses the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings, and emphasizes a concern for humans in relation to the world. In practice, humanist philosophy advocates for the equal treatment of all people, regardless of their race, ethnic background, sex, gender, religion, or nationality. | '''Humanism''' is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of the human species, both individually and collectively.

'''Secular Humanism''' begins with atheism (absence of belief in a deity) and agnosticism or skepticism (epistemological caution that rejects the transcendent as such due to a lack of evidence). Because no transcendent power will save us, secular humanists maintain that humans must take responsibility for themselves. While atheism is a necessary condition for secular humanism, it is not a sufficient one. Far from living in a moral vacuum, secular humanists “wish to encourage wherever possible the growth of moral awareness and the capacity for free choice and an understanding of the consequences thereof.” | '''Secular Humanism''' begins with atheism (absence of belief in a deity) and agnosticism or skepticism (epistemological caution that rejects the transcendent as such due to a lack of evidence).

Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of the human species, both individually and collectively. Humanism is non-dogmatic and open-ended. The meaning of the term humanism has fluctuated according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. Generally, however, humanism is the belief that human beings are the source of meaning and values. Humanists see humanity as having the capacity for continued growth and development, and they affirm some notion of human freedom and progress. Humanism views humanity as responsible for the promotion and development of individuals, espouses the equal and inherent dignity of all human beings, and emphasizes a concern for humans in relation to the world. In practice, humanist philosophy advocates for the equal treatment of all people, regardless of their race, ethnic background, sex, gender, religion, or nationality.
Variants
Pan-Humanism
Pan-humanism is the concept of an affiliation with the humankind through some sort of legislative structure that allows all technological and economic development to be for the benefit of the people. This co-insides with the idea of a world government, which would serve as a common political authority for all humanity, such as the idea of 
World Federalism.
Secular Humanism
Secular Humanism begins with atheism (absence of belief in a deity) and agnosticism or skepticism (epistemological caution that rejects the transcendent as such due to a lack of evidence). Because no transcendent power will save us, secular humanists maintain that humans must take responsibility for themselves. While atheism is a necessary condition for secular humanism, it is not a sufficient one. Far from living in a moral vacuum, secular humanists “wish to encourage wherever possible the growth of moral awareness and the capacity for free choice and an understanding of the consequences thereof.”
Secular humanism emerges, then, as a comprehensive nonreligious life stance that incorporates a naturalistic philosophy, a cosmic outlook rooted in science, and a consequentialist ethical system.[1]
Religious Humanism
Religious Humanism is a form of humanism that applies humanistic ethical philosophies on religious principles rather than secular principles. Religious humanism is sometimes referred to as non-theistic religion or congregational humanism. Other theistic humanist traditions have arisen over time, such as Christian humanism formulated by Christian philosophers like 
Jacques Maritain, and Islamic humanism thanks to philosophers like 
Fazlur Rahman.
Some Religious Humanist organizations and religions that include significant numbers of members and clergy who identify as humanists:
- The Humanist Society – This organization has its roots in the Quaker tradition but today is not exclusively tied to that tradition
- The Objector Church – Founded in 2018 as an interfaith religious humanist community.
The Satanic Temple – TST is a non-theistic religion. Its seven tenets espouse humanist values, and the overwhelming majority of TST members identify as humanists.
Unitarian Universalists – As many as half or more of UU congregations identify themselves as humanists when surveyed. Humanist UU's are represented by the UU Humanist Association (HUUmanists)
Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) – Groups within the Quaker communities that hold a humanist perspective include Nontheist Friends- Judaism – see Humanistic Judaism, Reconstructionist Judaism
- Buddhist – see Humanistic Buddhism
Humanistic Capitalism
See:
Social Capitalism
Humanistic Capitalism is a concept that seeks to unite humanism, specifically the safety and health needs of people and the environment, with market forces and a market-based economy. It is often seen as a middle ground between the ideas of modern capitalism and democratic socialism.
Marxist Humanism
See:
Reformist Marxism
WIP
Eco-Humanism
Eco-Humanism is a version of humanism that advocates for environmental ethics. Andrew Brennan was an advocate of ecologic humanism (eco-humanism), the argument that all ontological entities, animate and inanimate, can be given ethical worth purely on the basis that they exist.
History
Proto-Humanism
The origins of Humanism trace back to ancient 
Greece. Later on, these ideas moved to 
Rome. The famous philosopher 
Socrates spent a lot questioning the religion(s) practiced in ancient Greece. Socrates spent scientific thinking into digging the truth of religion and ethics. Of course, while this angered the local population and the elites, and he was sentenced to death for blasphemy, his systematic questioning lead many of his students such as Plato and 
Aristotle to take on after him, examining and justifying the truth before we can accept it as a fact. Aristotle had explored a lot of topics about the human being, such as deism, rationality, eudaimonia, etc. He wanted to explore what gave humans potential.
Humanism was very common in Greek art. It helped create a central focus on anthropologic art. He deeply misses thw Renaissance as well.
The Reinassance
The modern founding of Humanism was developed by poet and scholar Francesco Petrarca in the 14th century, who was believed to be the modern founder of the philosophy. While it was founded as a secular movement, Petrarca was very devout to Catholicism.
After his death, Humanism, at the time as "renaissance Humanism", or also "traditional Humanism" was defined as a broad cultural movement that revived set of classical texts and ideologies from the Roman and Greek times. It spread across all of Italy and later the rest of Europe, originating from Tuscany.
According to professor Angela Zimmerman, Humanism lead to the Prussian reforms by Karl Freiherr vom Stein, which Humanist 
Wilhelm von Humboldt performed in though his model of the human research institution.
Criticism of Humanism
Also see:
Anti-Humanism
In the 19th century, many philosophers challenged this idealization of human beings, known as "humanity". Some critics were 
egoists, others were 
nihilists, and others were 
post-structuralists.
Modern Humanism
W.I.P
Principles
Egalitarianism: All people come from the same place and need to be treated with fairness and equality. Humanists must actively uphold these standards and seek to help their fellow man.
Individualism: Humanism supports Individualist beliefs, believing that humans themselves are responible for creating freedom. Humanists advocate the 
Liberty and self-rights of the individual.
Secularism: Humanism has always proven itself to be a (usually) secular ideology every time. In fact that is a natural component within. Humanism believes that scientific knowledge and evidence in the real world matters more over the simple belief in "supernatural entities".
Welfare: Humanism is moral; morality is a way of humans improving our lives. Humanists engage in practical action to improve personal and social conditions, that through welfare. In fact, many 
liberal and 
welfare ideologies justify this principle upon adapting it to their own policies.
Personality
“Person”....ality? FUCK YES!!!
Humanism has a very simple personality, summarized by its support of human rights and civil liberties, and being fond of equality. He is very secular and will cite science as a source to answer reality whenever a 
theocracy insults him. However he is slandered by his political rival 
Anti-Humanism, both argue of the definition of being ¨human¨.
He often likes books that study Anthropology, the philosophical study of the human being and reads them on desks often. He especially likes Rome and Greece.
