American humanism

American humanism is a philosophy that emphasizes human value, reason, and individual responsibility. It encourages people to think critically, seek scientific understanding, and work ethically without relying on religious authority. Rooted in the Enlightenment, it promotes free inquiry, compassion, and social progress, believing humans have the capacity to create meaning and improve society through education, cooperation, and moral reflection. American humanism supports a secular approach to life, focusing on human welfare and dignity while respecting diverse beliefs and perspectives.
