Its had a long history of bad association, but more importantly its not the ideal descriptor I like for myself, I often find myself saying to people when they ask what I am: "I'm a rationalist, secular humanist, Atheist, Anti-Religionist, Socialist, Liberal."
Now theres no shortened word for me, but If I had to choose a word, rationalist or secular humanist fit and explain mostly what I am and what I think.
I just thought what if this guy on the radio said we had to fight the war against Secular Humanism, or fight the war against Rationalists. lol. Much harder to do  |
So one would think. However, according to the book that I am presently reviewing (see
post #202), "confessional secular humanism" is the real enemy.
