Humanism is a broad category of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, based on the ability to determine right and wrong. Some strains of Humanism are compatible with some religions and are even incorporated into several religious schools of thought. Humanism can be considered the process by which truth and morality is sought through human investigation. From this we can say that Humanism is similar to Christianity in that both seek to that affirm the dignity and worth of all people, and both seek to establish truth and morality. Humanism rejects the validity of transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on belief without reason, the supernatural, or texts of allegedly divine origin. Thus Humanism clearly rejects deference to supernatural beliefs in resolving human affairs but not necessarily the beliefs themselves. It is generally compatible with Atheism and agnosticism but does not require either of these.
