I am a humanist because I strongly agree with most of humanism’s main ideas. I agree that we should view the world through science, not religion because scientific concepts have proof and, while religions are based on some facts, they are mostly assumptions. I also agree that we should have religious tolerance because not toleration other religions is discrimination. However, I only partially agree with humanism’s views of education because, while I do agree that education is important, I don’t agree with emphasizing humanities or emphasizing any subject because depending on your career, it could be completely useless. I agree with individualism because having more individual control means everybody can better pursue their interests. I also agree with status through achievement because status coming from which class you were born in with no way to change it is just completely unfair. I chose these points for my infographic because these were all large changes from the medieval times to the renaissance.
