Secular Humanism
The term “secular humanism” refers to an intellectual movement to base morality on basic human values rather than on religion. Secular humanists may or may not be religious. The secular humanist movement is broad and does not have any organization or center. Religious fundamentalists actively dislike secular humanists and blame them for many of society's ills. Secular humanists remind fundamentalists that American society is supposed to be secular, with total separation of church and state.
