Guest Pitch: Are Humanists Satanists?

Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Humanism is one of the most influential and yet most maligned philosophies of all time. The sort of outright lies that are told about Humanism would make you think that Humanists are evil and are actively working for Satan.

The reality is that Humanists are some of the most ethical and well-respected people in society. As it turns out, Humanism is not only a very positive approach to life, it is also one of the more commonly help philosophies. For instance, a recent study in England showed that over 40% of the population there holds Humanist beliefs, yet most people have no idea they do. That’s because no one has ever taken the time to properly introduce them to the philosophy.

Author Jennifer Hancock has set out to change all that with her new book: Jen Hancock’s Handy Humanism Handbook. (http://www.jen-hancock.com/handyhumanism/)
