Stephen Fry, British comedian and commentator, came out officially as a Humanist this week. His definition of Humanism is one I think is worth sharing.
According to Stephen, Humanism “is an acceptance of the awesome and splendid responsibility we each have for our own destinies, ethics and morals.” He further states that Humanism is about embracing “the shared glories of humanity's intellectual and spiritual struggle to understand the universe into which we are born with honesty, openness and faith in our own natures.”

Thank you Stephen for reminding us why we should all nail our colors to the mast as Humanists.
