Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men~ Confucius 

 

Not that it is any of your business but my spirituality is best described as humanist. In case you are unfamiliar with this philosophy here is a brief description:

Humanists are committed to civil liberties, human rights, 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. Humanists take responsibility for their own lives rather than rely on any organized church doctrine. We relish the adventure of being part of new discoveries, seeking new knowledge, exploring new options.

Some famous humanist include:

Isaac Asimov, scientist and author

Margaret Atwood, author and literary freedom activist

Brock Chisholm, physician and first Director-General of the WHO (World Health Organization)

Albert Einstein, physicist 

Richard Leakey, anthropologist

Jonas Salk, physician and developer of the polio vaccine

Andrei Sakharov, physicist and human rights activist

And anyone can and should be a humanist, no matter what religion, or no religion.  Some religious beliefs, though, can get in the way of real humanism.

A little more about "humanism": 1. Status

The AHA was founded as an educational organization in 1941, was incorporated in Illinois in 1943, and secured an educational tax exemption shortly thereafter. In the late 1960s the AHA also secured a religious tax exemption in support of its celebrant program, allowing Humanist celebrants to legally officiate at weddings, perform chaplaincy functions, and in other ways enjoy the same rights as traditional clergy. In 1991, however, the AHA took control of the Humanist Society, a religious Humanist organization founded in 1939, and moved its celebrant program over to it. After that, the AHA commenced the process of jettisoning its religious tax exemption and resuming its exclusively educational status—a change that finally took effect January 1 2003. Today, therefore, the AHA is recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a nonprofit, tax exempt, 501 (c)(3), publicly supported educational organization.

2. Mission

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 the Humanist philosophy.

As a member organisation of the IHEU, the AHA fully endorses the Amsterdam Declaration 2002.

3. Definitions of Humanism 3. 1. AHA's definition of Humanism

The AHA's definition from its website:

"Humanism is a progressive lifestance that, without supernaturalism, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity." —Humanism and Its Aspirations

3. 2. IHEU's minimum statement on Humanism

All member organisations of the IHEU are required by IHEU bylaw 5.1 to accept [1] the IHEU Minimum statement on Humanism:

Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values in the spirit of reason and free inquiry through human capabilities. It is not theistic, and it does not accept supernatural views of reality. [2] 3. 3. Unofficial definitions
  • Kurt Vonnegut, former Honorary President of the AHA, wrote in God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, “I am a humanist, which means, in part, that I have tried to behave decently without any expectation of rewards or punishments after I'm dead.”
  • Albert Einstein, who joined the Humanist Society of New York in 1941, wrote "I believe that we have to treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem - the most important of all human problems." [Science News 115:21, 31 March 1979].
