Humanism has influenced the modern world tremendously. But many people have only vague ideas about what humanists believe. There is no authority to say who is and who is not a Humanist, and opinions vary over a considerable range. But to be a viable movement, there must be some principles that Humanists share widely, if not universally. Jim Barnett (Co-President of the Bay Area Humanists, www.sfhumanists.org, and a humanist for decades) will review the principles that he believes are essential to Humanism.<\/p>\n
