Out of God's Closet

Appendix I: The Affirmations of Humanism

The Affirmations of Humanism is a clear statement of the practical principles of humanism. These principles serve as guides to bring out the best in ourselves and others. These principles of secular humanism were distilled out of many decades of thoughtful teaching and writing by the eminent philosophy Professor Paul Kurtz; they summarize very succinctly what it means to be a secular humanist in today's pluralistic world.

Appendix II: A Declaration of Progressive Principles and Personal Postscript

These principles spell out how The Golden Rule should be lived in social and political life. They serve as guides for us in our efforts to defend dignity, to strengthen democracy, to promote progress and embrace leadership.

By both word and example, each of us can lead away from stupid, superstitious and shortsighted selfishness to enlightened or smart selfishness that helps everyone make long term progress. "... and the world will be better for this..."

Thanks a lot for your personal help as you enjoy all of this real life with a truly smart selfishness.

Sincerely yours,

Stephen F. Uhl, Ph.D. www.NoGodsNoGuilt.com
