Non-atheists, a couple of questions?

Does the label "Religious Humanist" or &quot Insert your religious/spiritual path here) Humanist" resonate with you?

If your metaphysical approach shifted and you came to identify as an atheist, how do you think your political principles and stands on the issues would change, if at all?

Thanks for sharing!

I consider myself an Agnostic Humanist if that counts as anything. Marie Marie Mar 2017 #1
I think that atheism and theism are equally open to the humanist approach. guillaumeb Mar 2017 #2

Should I become an atheist I don't think my political principles or beliefs would change a bit. I believe in compassion and good because that I what I strive to be, rather than adhering to that because of a religious reward/punishment system. Hope that made sense.

I do not judge based on any particular belief, I judge based on actions.
