Materialism isn't incomprehensible. You can actually google it if you don't believe me.An atheist's world view is materialism. Why would you believe that would be so hard to understand. It is really quite simple.
Humanism is a progressive lifestance that, without theism or other supernatural beliefs,
Humanism is a rational philosophy informed by science,
Humanism is a lifestance
Humanism is an approach to life
Humanism is: A joyous alternative to religions that believe in a supernatural god
Humanism is the light of my life and the fire in my soul.
Humanism is a philosophy, world view, or lifestance based on naturalism
Humanism is a philosophy of life that considers the welfare of humankind – rather than the welfare of a supposed God or gods
Humanism maintains there is no evidence a supernatural power ever needed

Thanks but what is that supposed to mean to me? All you are telling me is that humanism is a religion without a 'supernatural' G/god, atheists and does not mean its not a religion.
First of all, you can be an atheist and not be a humanist.You can be agnostic and not be a humanist. Humanism is a philosophy (for those that insist on mental masturbation).
I think it is very difficult, if not impossible, for theists to imagine an atheists world view. Can't cross that line. The thought process of having to hold something above oneself is tied to asceticism and this becomes very clear when you and Penelope try to insert worshiping into an atheists world view.
No. It is incomprehensible to you, Ding, because your world view is religious.
And just between you and me.....that's fine. Whatever floats your boat.
You do realize that the primary difference between atheists and people of faith is material versus spiritual, right? Atheists don't believe in the spiritual. People who believe in a Creator do.
Maybe you didn't realize that God is spirit but that's how God is seen by people like me. Not of the material but of the spirit. He is the force that binds all life but is outside of it.
I know what it is. It is also hotly debated at different intervals. Which leads me to believe----where do you people find the time? I hate philosophy.
