Why I, as an Atheist, Am No Longer a Humanist

Like and subscribe. This is an archive channel, i'm not the owner of the content, check the link in the end. I no longer call myself a humanist. Here’s why.

In 2019, I was confronted with some ideas which lead to an ideological shift. Thanks to Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot, Jonathan Haidt’s The Righteous Mind, and Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, I came to see morality a bit differently. Rather than humanism, I’ve taken to sentientism and ethical veganism (and have for some time now). Ultimately, I don’t think labels are nearly as important as the principles they’re meant to communicate, so I don’t care to squabble over labels or definitions when I could instead cut directly to the issues at hand.

The Great Demotions often contribute to the cessation of various kinds of human prejudice. Speciesism, I think, should be the next to go.
