	Humanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humanists endorse universal morality based on the commonality of human nature, suggesting that solutions to our social and cultural problems cannot be parochial.
		An important humanist from this period is the Dutch scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam.
		One of the earliest forerunners of contemporary chartered humanist organizations was the Humanistic Religious Association formed in 1853 in London.

	American Humanist Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The American Humanist Association (AHA) is a American Humanist group serving secular Humanism, but tending to favor Humanism as defined by the world body for Humanism, the IHEU.
		Humanists and the American Humanist Association were among the first to advocate for and/or introduce many significant developments in the fields of human rights, the control of population growth, sexual equality, civil liberties, education, science, alternative technologies, and humanistic psychology.
		The mission of the American Humanist Association is to promote the spread of Humanism, raise public awareness and acceptance of Humanism, and encourage the continued refinement of Humanist philosophy.

	What Happened To The Promise Of A Humanist Manifesto? Has The American Humanist Association Lost The Vision?
		In the time since I became a member of the AHA and this Chapter, I have continued to research and explore the meaning and definition of humanism and how to apply that to the organization that is the Humanists of Utah.
		The Humanists of Utah is an AHA Chapter, and we operate under a charter given by the AHA.
		Humanists have saved themselves, not from their sins, but from their ignorance, and have reached that "state of grace" (emphasized in religion), in which everything can be known which is necessary to the good life.

	WHAT IS HUMANISM ? by Frederick Edwords Executive Director, American Humanist Association (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Humanists therefore recognize that we live in a natural universe of great size and age, that we evolved on this planet over a long period of time, that there is no compelling evidence for a separable "soul," and that human beings have certain built-in needs that effectively form the basis for any human-oriented value system.
		Humanists are committed to civil liberties, human rights, church-state separation, the extension of participatory democracy not only in government but in the workplace and education, an expansion of global consciousness and exchange of products and ideas internationally, and an open-ended approach to solving social problems, an approach that allows for the testing of new alternatives.
		Humanists are willing to take part in emerging scientific and technological discoveries in order to exercise their moral influence on these revolutions as they come about, especially in the interest of protecting the environment.

	Humanist Manifestos I & II
		The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of human life is the purpose and program of humanism.
		As in 1933, humanists still believe that traditional theism, especially faith in the prayer-hearing God, assumed to live and care for persons, to hear and understand their prayers, and to be able to do something about them, is an unproved and outmoded faith.
		We are concerned for the welfare of the aged, the infirm, the disadvantaged, and also for the outcasts -- the mentally retarded, abandoned, or abused children, the handicapped, prisoners, and addicts -- for all who are neglected or ignored by society.
