“Humanism,” he explained, “is a nonreligious world view
that — instead of looking to revelation or authority, we look to reason
and evidence to understand the universe. Instead of looking to moral
rules that come from outside human beings, we look to other human beings
to generate values in the here and now and also to generate meaning in
our life.”
“Instead of looking externally for some meaning to give
value and sanction to the existence we’re having, the humanist view is
that men and women in the course of our lives create the sustained
meaning together,” Copson said.
