According to the Belief System Selector, I am a secular humanist.
# Secular Humanism Belief in Deity: Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.
# Incarnations: Same as above.
# Origins of universe/life: The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.
# After death: An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.
# Why evil? No concept of evil. Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology, etc.
# Salvation: No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.
# Undeserved suffering: No spiritual reasons, but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.
# Contemporary Issues: The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and non-violence, and environmental protection.
