What Is Humanism Anyway?

Definition (one line)

Humanism is a life stance that centers human dignity, flourishing, and freedom—guided by reason and compassion—without appealing to the supernatural. (Adapted from Humanists International’s Amsterdam Declaration and the American Humanist Association.)

Key takeaways
  • Critique claims, not people. We can love people of faith and still ask hard questions.
  • Morality grows from empathy, consequences, and shared agreements we refine together.
  • It’s not “foreign”. Caribbean life already runs on mutual aid, dignity, and practical care.
  • Reason checks the facts; compassion decides what reduces harm.
  • Freedom is tied to responsibility: my choices land on other people.
  • Pluralism: many ways to be good; disagreement without dehumanization.

Practice recap — One-week “Humanist Try-On”

Daily 3-step:

  1. Notice: Catch one moment you’d default to judgment—pause.
  2. Question: What are the facts? What’s the human cost? What outcome reduces harm?
  3. Choose: Take the smallest compassionate action that’s still honest.

Pick one micro-habit:

  • Truth check: “What evidence would change my mind?”
  • Consent check-in: Ask before assuming (home/work/fêtes).
  • Circle-widen: One tangible care act outside your usual bubble.
