Book excerpt: Humanism is a tradition of values that emphasizes the importance of human dignity, virtue, capabilities, and concerns. It does not directly consider the question of the existence of God, but rather the morality and ethics of human conduct; for humanists, the morality of the individual's conduct remains a crucial consideration whether or not a god exists, hence there are both theist and atheist humanists. Of the ethics which underlay humanist philosophy, rationality is strongly emphasized: those who follow this philosophy strive to base all of their convictions, religious or secular, on sound evidence and reasoning.
