Social Tolerance

 
     "Humanism is in tune with today's enlightened social thought. Humanists are committed to civil liberties, human rights, church-state separation, the extension of participatory democracy not only in government but in the workplace and education, an expansion of global consciousness and exchange of products and ideas internationally, and an open-ended approach to solving social problems, an approach that allows for the testing of new alternatives." What is Humanism Frederick Edwards
     "Humanism believes in the complete social implementation of reason and scientific method; and thereby in the use of democratic procedures including full freedom of expression and civil liberties, throughout all areas of economic, political, and cultural life." A Definition of Humanism Corliss Lamont
