Humanism and Atheism

Bill Pruett

Humanism is both a religion and philosophy that rejects the existence of God.  It is atheistic and, as such, seeks to elevate man by eliminating God.  Humanists reason that a supernatural God and Creator are not possible and man alone must solve his own problems.  “The fool hath said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” (Psa. 14:1).  Humanists are thus both atheists and fools by virtue of disbelieving God.

As Humanism is atheistic and Atheism is humanistic, it begs the question, “What is the difference between the two?”  Humanism is simply Atheism applied to a host of disciplines.  It is Atheism applied to the arts, sciences, medicine, law, social responsibilities, government, and even religion.  Humanism is the crop that comes from sowing the seed of Atheism.  Atheism is the primary and foundational belief of Humanism. 

Atheism, applied to science and the classroom, is the humanistic teaching of evolution.   The absence of evidence in Darwin’s fossil record of a single transitional fossil, or “missing link”, had evolutionists turning to a “big bang theory”.  Still lacking evidence and honesty, they are now scrambling into “black holes” for their theories.

Atheism, applied to ethics and morality, yields the humanistic teaching of amorality.  Amorality is the belief that there are no morals and hence, no absolute moral code. Humanists have no moral anchor and drift in a sea of moral relativism.

Atheism, applied to sovereignty or rule, is the humanistic teaching of the autonomy of man.  Humanists teach that there is no God, so man must be autonomous and rule himself.  They ultimately believe, however, that only the most intelligent of society must rule the masses.  Coincidentally, Humanists believe that they, the liberal elite, are the most intelligent of society; a true Humanist never believes that he is part of the masses!

Atheism, applied to governance, is the humanistic teaching and goal of one, world wide Socialist government.  All nations, including the United States, would be dissolved and would submit themselves to the world order led by the liberal elite.  This goal, unknown to most Americans, explains continual actions by Humanists to undermine America, and reject the feelings of nationalism and patriotism of America’s citizens. Loyalty to a Creator, a country, or even a family is viewed as a threat to Humanism’s goal, and Humanists seek to weaken these relationships.

Some Humanists view themselves are “religious Humanists.”  This avoids being an oxymoron only because Humanism is a religion.  All Humanists are  religious when it comes to Humanism which, we must remember, is merely “Atheism with lipstick”.  There is no middle ground between Atheism and God.

For the liberal elite to tell the ignorant masses what to do and have it enforced, Humanists know there must be a powerful State.  The State enacts laws and excessive regulations that govern the most trivial areas of citizens’ lives, including toilet flushes, light bulbs, etc.  Humanists reject the power of the individual, and his freedom, as they build the power of the State.  This belief in an unlimited government is called Statism.  When increasing powers are given to the State, they have been stolen from the Individual.  Not surprisingly, Humanism is the philosophy of all totalitarian governments.
