More and more people are seeing that atheism is not enough. Indeed, to be atheist is to say nothing of how we live and how we approach life. Where humanism succeeds is that it offers a view of the world and the philosophy necessary for action, and more people are finding this appealing. These people point to the growing number of humanists--those who seek to live an ethical, socially responsible life without belief in the supernatural. "We are humanist because it is a term that describes what we believe not what we don't believe."
