Scientific thinking, humanism, family values, and the development of moral values are the future of modern civilization.

Reading a review from 2009 of "Atheism in Christianity" by Ernst Bloch with this passage: the eventual message (in the Biblical Book of Job) is that “man can be better, and behave better, than his God.”

A peaceful forest scene with tall trees and sunlight streaming through the leaves, illuminating a path on the forest floor. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. In the midst of insecurity, there is a sanctuary.” — Alan Watts. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
We can and must find sanctuary in the midst of our daily lives, or we will surely drown in them. Instead of fighting the waters for survival, we can rise above and live. #Humanism #Philosophy #AlanWatts #HumanismChurch
Poet and scholar #ThichNnatHanh is promoting #humanism and #buddhism to elevate human society and the planet. What a wonderful man!

A serene cave-like setting with stalactites hanging from above and clear blue water below. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “However expressive, symbols can never be the things they stand for.” — Aldous Huxley. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
The symbols in our minds can never be expressed with complete fidelity since the meanings we assign to them are always personal and unique to ourselves. #Philosophy #Humanism #AldousHuxley #HumanismChurch
A scenic mountain landscape with wildflowers in the foreground and clouds over distant peaks. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “Philosophy, though unable to tell us with certainty what is the true answer to the doubts which it raises, is able to suggest many possibilities which enlarge our thoughts and free them from the tyranny of custom.” — Bertrand Russell. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
Philosophical thought is more than just idle contemplation or day dreaming. It can expand the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding and it helps shake off the constraints of our own familiar perspectives and assumptions. #Philosophy #Russell #Humanism #HumanismChurch
🔬 Today is National Science Appreciation Day — and as humanists, it's basically our holiday. Reason, evidence, and the pursuit of truth are at the heart of everything we value. Science doesn't just explain the world; it improves it.

The dichotomies and similarities
between action and prayer.
Faith as a non-option
(the erudite call it philosophy,
its explanation called a poetry)
Faith need not be grounded
anywhere other than Nature.
Action likewise, in its physics.
Prayer itself is static.

A tranquil garden scene with a pond, moss-covered stones, and lush greenery. A koi fish swims near the bottom. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found.” — Eckhart Tolle. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
Contemplation is quiet, and mostly incompatible with the noise of modern living, but it is when our minds are still that we can discover the most profound thoughts. #Humanism #Philosophy #EckhartTolle #HumanismChurch
#ReligionHarms because Abrahamic religions all consider themselves the chosen people who have the ONE right way to live life. #Religion divides people #religion #humanism #freethought #atheism

A snowy forest with tall trees and soft sunlight casting long shadows across the snow. Centered on a light overlay is the quote: “The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.” — Søren Kierkegaard. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
We can't own truth or capture it. We can only apprehend it or be captured by it. Truths exist outside of ourselves and it is our ability to learn and understand that make it possible for truth to ensnare us. #Humanism #Philosophy #Kierkegaard #HumanismChurch
#ReligionHarms when religion makes some people extremely judgmental, feeling that they have an omniscient god telling them to look down on others. #humanism #freethought #atheism
A star-filled night sky forms the background. Centered on a light rectangular overlay is the quote: “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” — Plutarch. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
We are not merely empty repositories into which you can pour information. Our minds consume information and through our experiences and thinking it is transformed into knowledge and wisdom. #Philosophy #Humanism #Plutarch #HumanismChurch
Oof, this was cathartic. Definitely the energy I feel everyday about *waves hands at everything*

Secularism's third way, by @bledewitz.bsky.social
Does Eastern philosophy hold the answer to finding meaning in a godless world?

Maybe the Abrahamic religions are to blame for the monsters it creates?
Wishing people to go to hell reveals much about the religious mindset of persecution and suffering?

A serene beach at sunset with waves rolling onto the shore under a warm orange sky. Centered text reads: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.” — William James. Bottom left shows the Humanism Church logo, and bottom right reads “humanism.church”.
Our attitudes and preconceptions greatly influence how we experience the world and also how we interact with other people. We each have the power to change these things spontaneously, for ourselves. #Philosophy #Humanism #WilliamJames #HumanismChurch
