Lots of diffrent types. I happen to be a Secular Humanist.

Answer 2

The word "humanism" has a number of meanings, and because authors and speakers often don't clarify which meaning they intend, those trying to explain humanism can easily become a source of confusion. Fortunately, each meaning of the word constitutes a different type of humanism -- the different types being easily separated and defined by the use of appropriate adjectives. So, let me summarize the different varieties of humanism in this way.

Answer 3

JPSatyr said,"cogito ergo sum" = I think therefore i exist! Humanism is based on the idea that man created god in his own image, or he is his own god. atheism, or agnosticism is the religeon of humanists. Most are looser liberals who don't stand for anything and have no morals, and need to have some excuse to deny The Living God and hide thier sins..
