Religious Humanism - without the baggage
I was fortunate enough to hear E.O.Wilson speak at the New Humanism Conference at Harvard last week. I was there as an Ethical Culture Leader who identifies as a religious humanist. Dr. Wilson's approach of reaching out to people with beliefs which are vastly different from his own, is very much in keeping with the phrase we use in Ethical Culture "Deed before Creed." We too believe that people of varying beliefs can come together to do good work, in this case, the important work of saving Creation.
While not all people who belong to Ethical Culture consider it to be their religion, many find that a term which describes the awe and mystery of life and creation and the reverence we must have for it is appropriate.
