Secular humanism is neither good nor evil.
You finally said something that's actually true.
It is simply mans attempt to ignore the "God concept" and figure life out on our own.
Well nearly. It doesn't ignore the 'god concept', it recognises that there is no 'god concept' and that any progress we make in our societies we make with our own efforts.
How is that working for us?
Rather better than the thousands of years we suffered with the 'god concept' don't you think?
Whether we're actually capable of fully shrugging off the superstitious nonsense that's still holding back most of the world AND saving ourselves from the animal behaviours we inherit from our recent history as descended apes, is still in the balance.
One thing's for absolute certain though, getting on our knees and muttering inanities to an imaginary overlord isn't going to help us.
