Although Humanism is a broad church, and secularist and rationalist, it is politically progressive.

It is not easy to sit and think about your beliefs again and again and again and be a true skeptic. Unlike what those cult leaders who throw the word logic and reason around like like they mean nothing, you are the person who are actually trying to be a critical thinker, and a significant part of that attitude comes from having a critical view at yourself and what you belong to.
