Quote of the Day
First of all, a lot of atheists don’t even like to be called “humanists” unless when you say the word you really mean atheist. Secular humanists in America have felt this way for years. British humanists, who don’t like the word secular humansim because it’s too American, just use the word “humanism” when they really mean freethought which really means atheism. The opposite of humanist when the word is used by secular humanists is presumably Goddist.

Brain *SPLODES!*
This why Mr Bint (atheist) and I (Christian) try to remain on first name terms at all times

I used to enjoy RJ Hoffman’s blog, but he does seem to be stuck in the tramlines with regard to Atheists, and ‘New Atheists’ in particular – having stated some time ago that he was done with discussing this! OK so Humanism and Atheism are not the same thing, and some people intentionally or unintentionally mix and match the two. And there’s more to being a Humanist that just being an Atheist. But this ‘revelation’ is nothing new. Sigh…
