What do Ethical Humanists believe?
Ethical Humanists believe in the dignity and worth of each person. Each person is unique and can foster uniqueness in others. Humankind is a part of nature. By paying respect to all that surrounds us, we create the feelings that are called religious, sacred and holy. We understand that the welfare of the natural community depends upon responsible human effort. Ethical Humanists have faith in the transformation of the human condition through personal and community effort. We believe that a good person is a person learning to become more sensitive to the joy and suffering of others. Members join together in the struggle for social reform, a healthy environment, and peaceful world. Ethical Humanists believe that meaning and purpose are found through the process of redefining values and through acts of loving kindness. Comfort, solace and support are ultimately found on this earth, in community. See the Eight Commitments of Ethical Culture.
