Am I a Humanist? 

To begin with, Humanism has brought up many positive impacts to us now. From studying Greek and Latin writings, knowledge spread with Humanities that sparked up modern subjects such as Science, Mathematics, Politics, etc. This was also mainly because religion was deducted greatly. In my opinion, I think that knowledge is very important, not just for becoming “successful” in the future, but also understanding the world and making improvements in life rather than believing in just God. This brings up the next idea, of believing that humans are more important than God. I am not religious, but I do not have strong feelings about the significance of humanity. Something that I strongly agree with Humanism is the idea that everyone has the right to become better by working hard. This is very different to the feudal world since back then everyone’s future was determined by their family. 

So, in conclusion, I consider myself to be quite Humanist, since I agree with many of the concepts that were introduced in Humanism.
