   The goal of Humanism is to provide a framework for Human social and personal   
   life that while consensually moral and ethical, enables *all* Humans to live   
   the life that we choose to be happy in, and which allows us to fulfill our   
   individual and societal potentials and ambitions.   
      
   It cannot continue to just be a negative reaction to Theist religion. If   
   that is all it is about then once the Theist religions finally die off (and   
   they will) we will belost in the wilderness.   
      
   What is your view?
