What is religion and how do we define it? Religion is something that could be controlled or manipulate. At the same time, religion is mostly connected with spirituality or with the Devine (in the area of the Devine we refer to God this being the biblical view of true religion). Spirituality today is fabricated and twisted by our personal gain. The word in question has numerous meanings as science has unstoppable theories about life. In essence, religion is an object controlled by human desires. It might be associated with faith but it is not biblical faith. Religion requires work and works. Biblical faith, on the other hand, requires no work but belief or trust on something that happened in the past or something that was done in the past, which in turn, requires a response.

We must understand that religion is shaped by different truths, values and principles. I have already stated above, that there is true religion (biblical faith which could not be controlled by man this is understood as God driven) or false religion (humanism or other ideas controlled by man). In this regard, humanism is a false religion - fabricated and controlled by man, who`s desire is to reject the idea that there is a Creator, who is God, and who demands to be listened and obeyed. This rebellion leads to confusion and rejection of established order within this universe. The result of such rejection, gives the human being the capacity to create networks such as secondlife.com, which is a pure example of humanism and other ideas of false religion.

Humanism tends to believe in anything that deals with human competence and creativity, with human achievements and human standards. Below, I will present ten statements (beliefs) held by the humanists. I encourage you to asses each view and look through the two spectrums presented above. Especially, I urge you to see that in its essence, tough its being rejected, humanism is a religion man made.

Humanism believes in a naturalistic metaphysics or attitude toward the universe that considers all forms of the supernatural as myth, and that regards Nature as the totality of being and as a constantly changing system of matter and energy which exists independently of any mind or consciousness.
