		Spiritual Humanism is based on the ability of human beings to solve the problems of society using logic and science.
		Central to Spiritual Humanism is the concept that most people need and enjoy religious rituals and activities and that these are an intrinsic part of what it means to be human.
		Obviously humanism does not deny the possibility of realities as yet undiscovered, but it does think that one way to determine the existence and value of any and all realities is by means of intelligent inquiry and by the assessment of their relations to human needs.

	Religious humanism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The two basic approaches to religious humanism are from a conventional religious tradition with a humanist influence, or from a humanist viewpoint that incorporates religious ritual.
		A new third approach, Christian Existential Humanism, represents a return to an older style, featuring a humanist perspective grounded in genuine religious belief; where humanity is something to be celebrated, but not as a replacement for the divine.
		The Spiritual Humanism movement is a response to the percieved failure of the original humanist organizations to recruit new membership and address these spiritual needs.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
		Church and State, religion and politics, ecclesiastical reform and social advancement, are handled with a flaming, peerless oratory.
		His subversion of the spiritual order, abolition of ecclesiastical science, rejection of the sacraments, suppression of ceremonies, degradation of Christian art, demanded a substitute, and a more available one than the "undefiled Word of God", in association with "evangelical preaching" could hardly be found.
		His wife, assured by her spiritual director "that it was not contrary to the law of God", gave her consent, though on her deathbed she confessed to her son that her consent was feloniously wrung from her.

	humanism, humanist, humanists
		Secular humanism, then, is a philosophy and world view which centers upon human concerns and employs rational and scientific methods to address the wide range of issues important to us all.
		While secular humanism is at odds with faith-based religious systems on many issues, it is dedicated to the fulfillment of the individual and humankind in general.
		To accomplish this end, secular humanism encourages a commitment to a set of principles which promote the development of tolerance and compassion and an understanding of the methods of science, critical analysis, and philosophical reflection.

		It was the age of Confucius and Lao-tzu of China, the Upanishads of ancient India, of Buddha the Enlightened One, Zoroaster religious prophet of Persia, and the Hebrew prophets Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah.
		Humanism in religion is the shifting of emphasis from God to man [human], making the enrichment of human life…the object of our allegiance and consecration….Man [human] must by his [her] own effort carve out his [her] own destiny.
		Its legacy is the concern for human well-being, the affirmation that we are free to act for what we believe in and to change the situation in which we find ourselves through these efforts, the defense of reason, the acceptance of responsibility.

	The Religion of Humanism
		Now you say, "If Humanism is a religion, such as Judaism, Christianity, etc., where are the Humanist churches, where is the headquarters, the Mother Church?" My answer: The government school classrooms have been misappropriated by the Humanists as their 'churches.' Their 'cathedrals' are the universities, colleges and seminaries; their 'Mother Church' a not-so-well known institute.
		While the doctrines of Humanism are simple enough, the manner in which Humanists (those who embrace the doctrines of Humanism) 'work their plan' to gain power, support and converts is so close to mind-boggling as to initially prompt a reaction of disbelief.
		Humanism is preached by using this open-ended teaching technique and by leaving out of such exercises and discussions any reference to the moral absolutes of the Judeo-Christian ethic.

	Humanism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		It is, however, certain that Italy and the re-adopting of Latin letters as the staple of human culture were responsible for the name of Humanists.
		Literoe humaniores was an expression coined in reference to the classic literature of Rome and the imitation and reproduction of its literary forms in the new learning; this was in contrast to and against the Literoe sacroe of scholasticism.
		For this reason the Humanists of Italy, as such, were not at all concerned in the efforts for a reformation of the church as attempted in the councils of Constance or of Basel.

	TechgnosisWeb Prime » A quick rant on Spiritual Humanism
		Well, as a newly ordained priest of the Church of Spiritual Humanism, one of my duties is to preach, no? Well, I’m cross-posting a rant I just put up over on the SH forums, which sums up my beliefs as they relate to SH pretty nicely, I think.

		We can use our spirituality to inspire our reason, and use our reason to better understand the nature of spirituality, which leads back to the beggining, and so forth, and all the while, we grow wiser and, hopefully, happier.
