Explains the nature of ethical and religious humanism, differentiates secular and religious humanism, and stresses the importance of preserving the freedom, dignity, and well being of all people

"What is nontheistic religion?" is the seemingly paradoxical question underlying this discussion of Ethical Culture and the older tradition of humanism in which it originated and evolved. Written by a former Leader, this is part testimony but mainly a look at this movement's birth in 1876 and subsequent growth, as well as a sound discussion of its tenets: faith in the human personality as ultimately valuable and commitment to a mutually responsible ethical lifestyle, as distinct from obedience to divine commands. Well written and quite topical. EC
