Why I, as an Atheist, Am No Longer a Humanist

I no longer call myself a humanist. Here’s why. In 2019, I was confronted with some ideas which lead to an ideological shift. Thanks to Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot, Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind, and Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, I came to see morality a bit differently. Rather than humanism, I’ve taken to sentientism and ethical veganism (and have for some time now). Ultimately, I don’t think labels are nearly as important as the principles they’re meant to communicate, so I don’t care to squabble over labels or definitions when I could instead cut directly to the issues at hand. The Great Demotions often contribute to the cessation of various kinds of human prejudice. Speciesism, I think, should be the next to go. ***Click here to listen to the books mentioned in this video for free with a 30-day free trial from Audible*** http://audibletrial.com/gmskeptic -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/b2tABbV -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic Sources and other links: The Emotional Dog and its Rational Tail: A Social Intuitionist Approach to Moral Judgment https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.124.9206&rep=rep1&type=pdf This Is Exactly Why I’m an Atheist https://youtu.be/7urcE4IwMf0 -------------------------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
