Talk:Humanism/Definitions

To centralize our information on the most common definitions of humanism for discussing the Humanism article, here is a table for editors with copy-pasted dictionary and encyclopedia definitions of the term. For ease of browsing, the rows are color-coded based on how strongly the source equates humanism with some form of secular humanism.


 *  Red  (2) = The source treats secular humanism as the sole definition of humanism.
 *  Pink  (5) = The source treats secular humanism as the primary (or first) definition, but allows for other types or forms of humanism.
 *  Light blue  (9) = The source's primary definition of humanism is not secular, but the source does reference secular humanism in some way.
 *  Dark blue  (4) = The source defines humanism without any reference to secularism, naturalism, etc.

(Wiktionary, incidentally, happens to qualify as 'light blue', like most dictionaries.)
