Talk:List of religious humanists

Notes for adding to the list
I created this list because the original humanist list, while it mentioned religious humanists in its intro, was really almost exclusively for secular humanists - hence I changed that articles title and brought over the one religious humanists on the list, Erasmus, to the new list of religious humanists.

I'm perfectly fine with assembling this list on my own, but for anyone else who wants to contribute, I think it would be a good idea, first of all, to include as many diverse religious perspectives as possible (i.e. - this shouldn't just be a list of Renaissance Christian humanists). After that, I think its at least somewhat important to prioritize religious identity in places where it over laps with things like ethnic identity. For example, Lawrence M. Krauss is probably rightly catagorized a Jewish humanist but he would certainly deny being a religious humanist. And while no one else need follow this, I personally plan to include a reference indicating that the person in question held a particular religious view when there is any doubt, as in the Elie Wiesel entry. This doesn't mean I wish to apply some kind of acid-test to religiosity, but at the very least, I would advise that where there is doubt, a reference is a good idea.Kevin Corbett (talk) 03:32, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
