Humanist Quiz

Curious what others get for a result. I got a 65% score.

Thought it was interesting to take despite it being aimed more specifically at Secular Humanism. Does it seem accurate that Secular Humanism is taken to be "proper Humanism"?

We calculate you are 100% humanist.

I dunno how that happened. I think you've got yourself a damn atheist quiz.

I got 55%. I couldn't answer most of the questions honestly because my real opinion wasn't a choice.

I wanted a different answer or to check more than one for most of it...the frustrating part of these quizzes. Would like to add a quiz section to the forums where we can design our own.

these questions have nothing to do with humanism. humanism is the idea that you value humanity, as a whole, above all else. these questions however ask about afterlife, god, universe, science, even animals and whatnot absolutely unrelated to humanism or morality. Originally humanism was part of christianity. It is very late that it developed into a secular idea. This humanism even, i assume, presupposes atheism and naturalistic science at its core which have nothing to do with valuing humans above the rest. Does it actually imply that somebody who believes in god cant be a humanist? What if that person actually believes that god commands him to be the best and nicest kind of person?


Got 39% btw.

I think of Humanism as being based on the importance given to human knowledge and value systems. Early humanists studying previous/historical intelligentsia, philosophers, etc. I don't see being kind or good because a religious text or Divine interaction instructed it as being representative.

is the belief in the divine not human knowledge? is religion not a human value system? I think they are.
So if somebody believes he ought to be a kind and generous person because his faith commands him to, this person is not humanistic?

In what respect? It isn't gathering and assembling all the answers for some kind of composite statistic.

I got 44%. Sounds like I'm more Hindu/Advaita than Humanist I guess. Although the questions seemed to not include really good eastern answers (more western theism and western atheism answers).

If every value/moral system, knowledge base, etc. is seen just as humanistic as all the others then it becomes a meaningless term. In the sense if everything is ____, nothing is _____.

In that it kinda equates humanism with materialist atheism. When I think "humanism" I think of an ethical viewpoint focused on the benefit and advancement of humankind as a whole, and "Humanity" set up as an ideal to aspire to. Most humanists are atheists but there are theistic humanists too (people who stress that God(s) gave humans free will, wants them to prosper and learn etc).
