Morality

 
     "Humanism is a philosophy of compassion. Humanist ethics is solely concerned with meeting human needs and answering human problems--for both the individual and society--and devotes no attention to the satisfaction of the desires of supposed theological entities." What is Humanism Frederick Edwards
     "Humanism believes in an ethics or morality that grounds all human values in this-earthly experiences and relationships; one that holds as its highest goal the this-worldly happiness, freedom, and progress (economic, cultural, and ethical) of all humankind, irrespective of nation, race, or religion.
