Secular humanists reject supernatural and authoritarian beliefs. They affirm that we must take responsibility for our own lives and the communities and world in which we live. Secular humanism emphasizes reason and scientific inquiry, individual freedom and responsibility, human values and compassion, and the need for tolerance and cooperation.
(From http://www.secularhumanism.org )
Atheist in R&S are sometimes accused of offering nothing in place of faith.
If those who agreed with the philosophy described ourselves as secular humanists, would people perceive us as having more to offer to the world?
