Church of Humanism

This post was updated on .

Founder and Senior Minister: Rev Joseph Ben-David

"The uniqueness of the Church of Humanism lies in its theocentric religious naturalism. Since reality in its ideal form, reflects the humanist meaning of God, it is a God-concept that can be accepted by rational and scientifically thinking people. The devotion to nothing less than the highest and best, to that which intrinsically enhances the quality of life, and helps advance the values and actuality of freedom, justice and peace, is the basic orientation of authentic humanism."

Alex's comment:  The name "Church of Humanism" looks attractive.  But it seems to be a one-man church of Rev Joseph Ben-David.  More problematic still might be the God-language employed, as Humanism is usually understood as non-theistic.  My ideal would be a community of definitely non-theistic Humanists, without the word "church" in the name, thus something like "Community of Humanism" or "Society of Humanism."
