SECULAR HUMANISM: Avoiding hypocrisy in critical thinking and the scientific method
Why are you a secular humanist?
Imagine that you are a guest attending a national meeting of 1,500 Architects, Engineers, Physics professors, building and construction professionals who all agree on one thing:
The Twin Towers and WTC building 7 were deliberately demolished with pre-planted explosives on the day of 9/11/2001 after 2 of the 3 skyscrapers were struck by jet aircraft.
Then try to imagine that it's your turn at the microphone where you are determined to insult all 1,500 degreed professionals by asserting they are nothing more than a group of "conspiracy theorists".
As a secular humanist and proponent of the scientific method, would you have courage to accuse a body of 1,500 experts of being a group of conspiracy theorists without first looking at their credentials and the science behind their conclusion?
The Secular Humanist Challenge to avoid hypocricy
Dozens of science-based experts explain why the government is not telling the truth about the destruction of the Twin Towers and building 7.

What Is Secular Humanism?
Secular Humanism is a term which has come into use in the last thirty years to describe a world view with the following elements and principles:
A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted on faith.
Commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence, and scientific methods of inquiry, rather than faith and mysticism, in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.
A primary concern with fulfillment, growth, and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.
A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.
A concern for this life and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.
A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.
A conviction that with reason, an open marketplace of ideas, good will, and tolerance, progress can be made in building a better world for ourselves and our children.
