Because they aren't even close to the same thing. It's not another word, it's an entirely different word describing an entirely different thing, a set of beliefs, something that atheism is not.
- baldfat 11y agoThat is not what the American Humanist Society states. That is ALSO my point. http://americanhumanist.org/Humanism http://americanhumanist.org/Humanism
- gnaritas 11y agoIncorrect. Just because humanists are atheists, doesn't mean atheists are humanists. You've failed to understand the difference. Humanism is a belief system some atheists follow, all atheists are not humanists. Being an atheist doesn't make one a humanist, surely you can understand that distinction? Knowing someone is an atheist doesn't tell you what they believe, it tells you what they don't believe; knowing they're a humanist tells you exactly what they do believe. Humanists are a sub-category of atheists.
