Active Humanism is a personal belief based upon logic and self-determination.
It's a belief change is the essence of life, and change, growth, evolution, and progress are one and the same;
a belief active energy lies at the core of change, and the controlled and directed use of human
energy combined with conscious reason will produce positive physical and intellectual change.
It's a belief an essential education is the catalyst to intellectual evolution and mature human behavior, and
that a conscious effort is necessary for the species to metamorphose from low, animal-level to
high, human-level.
It's a belief in the Principle of the Greater-Force, a belief cooperation between lots of people is the only way to
fuse the Greater-Force, and consideration for the needs of one another the only way to retain it.
It's a belief welfare is what a human society and government should be all about, for provision of the common welfare is
why people have grouped together since the beginnings of time.
It's a belief in the collective responsibility of society to ensure the welfare of each and every citizen, not
merely rich citizens, white citizens, aggressive citizens, or male citizens; a belief part of
this responsibility is to guarantee each citizen access to the needs of survival and a fair
share of society's good things.
It's a belief people are born, live, and die just as other living forms; a belief life-after-death has never been
proven to exist, and it's foolish to base human behavior on the "faith" it does when it's more
likely it doesn't. And because people have only this one opportunity to enjoy the good things
of planet Earth and contribute to the species' welfare, it's a belief it is in society's best
interest to ensure every citizen be given the opportunity to develop and become all he or she
can become.
Active Humanism's sole relationship to supernaturalism is the belief that if there is a Creator, he, she, or it
has endowed the human species with the computerbrain as its major means of survival, and will
offer no additional assistance to help an individual, or the species, to survive. Not ever!
It's a belief the current selfish use of the computerbrain for private wealth and power is destructive and can
end only in disaster for the species and the planet; a belief the good life for all is here
on planet Earth, if people actively, and intelligently, cooperate to secure it for all; a belief the species
must learn to use the brain effectively for the common good or perish from the Earth.
It's a belief that only when such a philosophy is held by the majority of a society's
commoners, can the society be transformed into a more equitable place for all.
