Concerned that his positive vision of humanism is being threatened and perhaps eclipsed with a new brand of acerbic atheism, Paul Kurtz has drafted and released just this week a new “Neo-Humanist Statement of Secular Values and Principles.”

Atheism and Humanism are rebounding, while orders such as the Jesuits see their numbers dwindle toward extinction. Some see an opportunity for Humanism’s gentle metaphysics to benefit from Jesuit-style advocacy.

The fate of Humanism is tied to that of the United Nations – both will succeed or go down together. But time is running short, nuclear weapons are proliferating, militarism is dominant.

Please support a World Parliament that is democratically elected in place of the superpower-controlled Security Council – we must coalesce as a species and become responsible for our internal governance.

Atheism, Brights and Humanists can unite to be recognized as advocates for our species per se. To do this they must avoid religious acrimony.
