Humanism
Humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally prefers critical thinking and evidence (rationalism, empiricism) over established doctrine or faith (fideism). The meaning of the term humanism has fluctuated, according to the successive intellectual movements which have identified with it. Generally, however, humanism refers to a perspective that affirms some notion of human freedom and progress.In modern times, humanist movements are typically aligned with secularism, and today ""Humanism"" typically refers to a non-theistic life stance centred on human agency, and looking to science instead of religious dogma in order to understand the world.
